What this Trial Is About
This study is a multicenter, parallel, randomized waitlist-controlled trial that primarily focuses on the short-term benefit of outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on patients after acute pulmonary embolism. Patients will be randomized into an intervention and a control group. The intervention group will receive 6 weeks of outpatient PR, while patients in the other treatment arm will serve as a control. After completion of the randomized study, the second arm will undergo PR as well.
