•
D-dimer is elevated during acute VTE but conditions such as cancer, sepsis,
surgery, trauma, pregnancy, myocardial infarction, bleeding, inflammation, and
other systemic illnesses can also cause elevation.
•
D-dimer is an effective “rule out” of VTE in the setting of low clinical pretest
probability, but a positive result requires further diagnostic verification. Table
13-4 describes how to estimate pretest probability using Wells Pretest Probabil
ity scoring.
•
There are many different D-dimer assays, and the sensitivity of D-dimer is dependent on the assay method; no universal cutoff level exists.
•
Sensitivity of D-dimer may be reduced if the duration of signs and symptoms of
VTE exceed 2–3 days or if the patient has received heparin therapy.

Role of Duplex Ultrasonography (with Compression) in
Establishing the Diagnosis of DVT
•
It is preferred to venography because it is noninvasive and does not carry the
side effects of venography (i.e., hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, vessel wall
irritation, nephrotoxicity due to the contrast medium).
•
Positive duplex ultrasound in combination with moderate-to-high pretest
probability scoring, or a positive D-dimer can be used to confirm the diagnosis
(see Table 13-4).
•
Negative testing does not exclude DVT, particularly in calf veins.
•
The ability to diagnose new DVT can be difficult in patients with previous history
of DVT.

Role of Pretest Probability Scoring
The Wells Score is a clinical prediction tool that can aid in the diagnosis of
DVT. This score, when used in combination with other clinical assessments,
can guide clinicians toward which patients require further testing to either
confirm or rule out DVT. However, like most prediction rules, this scoring
system performs variably in different patient populations and should not
replace clinical judgment (see Table 13-4).
See Figure 13-5 on how to use Wells Pretest Probability Scoring to aid
in DVT diagnosis.
• Further diagnostic testing is not necessary in
patients with low pretest probability score for
DVT and a negative D-dimer.
DVT Diagnostic Algorithms

DIAGNOSIS OF PULMONARY EMBOLISM
Signs and Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism
Table 13-5 describes the many signs and symptoms associated with PE. Note
that most of these signs and symptoms are nonspecific to PE, which helps
explain why the diagnosis of PE is often challenging and requires careful
clinical judgment.
TABLE 13-5: Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism
Three Most Common Signs/Symptoms
Dyspnea
Pleuritic chest pain with clear x-ray
Tachypnea
Additional Signs and Symptoms
Apprehension
Cough
Cyanosis
Diaphoresis
ECG findings: right bundle branch block, SIQIIITIII, and T wave inversions in leads V1-V4
Elevated neck veins
Fever
Hemoptysis
Hypotension
Increased pulmonic component (P2) of the second heart sound
Nonpleuritic chest pain
Pleural rub
Rales
Syncope
Systolic murmur (tricuspid regurgitation)
Tachycardia
Wheezing
Signs/Symptoms of Massive PE
Hemodynamic instability: The presence of shock or hypotension, specifically defined as a systolic
blood pressure <90 mm Hg or a >40 mm Hg drop in blood pressure for >15 minutes
Cardiac arrest
Cyanosis
Hypoxia
Oliguria
5
Cardiac and Imaging Signs/Symptoms of Massive PE
Greater than 50% or more absent perfusion of the lung on angiography or ventilation/perfusion
scanning
Echocardiography: Evidence of RV failure/strain (RV enlargement, hypokinesis, pulmonary
hypertension, intraventricular septal flattening or “bowing”)
Elevated pulmonary artery pressure
Elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Elevated troponin

• Similar to patients with DVT, patients with PE
often present with atypical symptoms or may
also present with asymptomatic disease.
Pulmonary Embolism Diagnostic Testing
Computed Tomographic Pulmonary Angiography
•
Considered first-line choice for use in diagnosis unless contraindications exist.
•
Contrast dye is typically used, which can make the test unsuitable for patients
with poor renal function.
•
Positive scan results for a PE have good specificity and generally confirm the
diagnosis.
•
Negative scans lack sensitivity and may require further diagnostic studies if PE
seems likely due to pretest probability scoring and/or D-dimer results.
•
Both sensitivity and specificity of the scan is improved with central clots as to
those that are more peripheral.
•
Scan must be performed well technically including appropriate timing from
contrast injection, patient holding his or her breath for about 20 seconds, and
optimized spatial resolution parameter settings.
•
False positives are more common for segmental/subsegmental embolism, and
follow-up testing may be needed.
A saddle PE is a large bilateral PE because anatomically the thrombi straddles
the bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery and often extends into the left
and right main pulmonary artery. Approximately 3–6% of patients with PE
will be diagnosed with saddle PE.
See Figure 13-6 for an example of a saddle PE on computed tomography
(CT).
Ventilation/Perfusion Lung Scan
•
Highly positive scan results for a PE have good specificity and can help confirm
the diagnosis.
•
Ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scanning is often preferred in patients with pregnancy,
renal insufficiency, or allergies to contrast dye.
•
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and congestive heart failure
can impair the specificity of the scan.
•
A negative scan has good specificity and generally rules out the diagnosis.
•
A nondiagnostic (intermediate or low radiologic probability scan) result lacks
sensitivity and requires further diagnostic studies if PE seems likely.
See Figure 13-7 for sample V/Q scan.
Pulmonary Embolism Pretest Probability Scoring
Much like in DVT, a Wells Score is also available to estimate the probability
of PE. This score, when used in combination with other clinical assessments, can guide clinicians toward which patients require further testing to

performs variably in different patient populations and should not replace
clinical judgment. It is most likely to be useful in situations of suspected PE
without hypotension/shock (see Table 13-6).
