What this Trial Is About
The objective of the study is to evaluate the prognostic performance of the chair lift test in the initial assessment of the severity of non-severe pulmonary embolism in hospitalized patients, in comparison with the current pulmonary embolism risk stratification score using the sPESI score refined by the use of cardiac biomarkers and right ventricular dysfunction
