Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life-threatening disease.
To increase awareness about optimised acute cardiovascular care for patients suffering from PE across Europe, the Association for Acute CardioVascular Care (ACVC) has created a series of clinical-case based talks with experts contributing their opinions.
This programme is delivered by the ACVC with the scientific collaboration of the ESC Working Group on Pulmonary Circulation & Right Ventricular Function
