It is difficult to diagnose and may be overlooked since it does not present with a distinctive clinical manifestation.

Initially 19 patients with PE were included, but four of them were later excluded from the study since they were lost to follow-up. All the patients included in the study received thrombolytic treatment in standard doses after diagnosis. The control group consisted of eight males and seven females with no history of known cardiovascular disease or any systemic diseases other than hypertension or diabetes. The patients’ histories were recorded and a 12-lead electrocardiogram was obtained. Complete blood count, urea, creatinine, serum sodium and potassium levels and other laboratory parameters were tested. Patients in whom the quality of the transthoracic echocardiogram was inadequate due to poor echogenicity, those with pre-existing advanced mitral valve disease, and those with RV hypertrophy due to cor pulmonale were excluded from the study. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. Demographic characteristics, etiological risk factors, diagnosis, and RV echocardiographic parameters at the end of the first month were recorded for each patient.</p><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0080">Transthoracic echocardiography and Doppler imaging</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Before thrombolytic treatment was started, patients diagnosed with acute PE underwent standard transthoracic echocardiography in left lateral decubitus position using a Vivid 3 ultrasound system and a 2.5 mHz phased array transducer. Doppler recordings were made at 100 mm/s by synchronous single-lead electrocardiography. All measurements were obtained in three consecutive cycles, which were later averaged. All Doppler measurements were conducted at end-expiration so that the flow parameters were unaffected by respiration and were more consistent. The gain setting was set for optimum visualization of spectral view and the endocardial borders. Ejection fraction (EF) (to assess systolic function) and E-wave, A wave, E/A ratio, isovolumic relaxation time and deceleration time (to assess left ventricular diastolic function) were determined using tissue Doppler. Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), as an indicator of RV systolic and diastolic function, was determined via two-dimensional RV fractional area change, two-dimensional RVEF, isovolumic relaxation time and tissue Doppler-derived tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity (S¿). RV E wave, A wave, E/A ratio, RV shortening time, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), myocardial performance index (MPI), and IVA were also measured.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0085">Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To determine tricuspid valve annular plane systolic excursion, an M-mode trace was recorded in apical 4-chamber view from the point where the tricuspid annulus joins the lateral free wall.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Myocardial performance index</span><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">RV MPI was calculated based on the measurements from the tricuspid and RV outflow tract Doppler flow traces.

Since PE occurs frequently, has various clinical manifestations, and – most importantly – leads to high mortality, an early diagnosis is of the utmost importance. However, diagnosis is difficult and the condition may be overlooked since it does not present with a distinctive clinical manifestation. The main effects of a pulmonary thromboembolic episode are hemodynamic. Large and/or multiple embolisms may abruptly increase pulmonary vascular resistance to a level of afterload which cannot be matched by the right ventricle.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a></p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">RV function parameters are closely dependent on EF and tricuspid velocimetry, age, Doppler sample volume location and heart rate, as well as load and contractility.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7,8</span></a> The complicated structure and asymmetrical shape of the right ventricle makes assessment of right heart function difficult.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> This has prompted the development of methods such as the non-geometric MPI, also known as the Tei index, and TAPSE.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10–13</span></a> MPI is a non-invasive parameter that enables assessment of global systolic and diastolic ventricular function by Doppler.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,14</span></a> and is used in various clinical conditions including pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathy, complex congenital heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea.

This means that inter-observer and intra-observer variability may be high. When obtaining measurements with routinely used transthoracic echocardiography devices, it is necessary to ensure that the device is optimally calibrated, and the procedure should be carried out carefully by experienced staff. Technological advancements in the equipment used for tissue Doppler imaging may reduce these limitations in the future. Finally, the number of patients in our study was only 15, and therefore further studies with a larger number of patients are needed to confirm our findings.</p></span><span id="sec0060" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0125">Ethical disclosures</span><span id="sec0065" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0130">Protection of human and animal subjects</span><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that no experiments were performed on humans or animals for this study.</p></span><span id="sec0070" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0135">Confidentiality of data</span><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have followed the protocols of their work center on the publication of patient data.</p></span><span id="sec0075" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0140">Right to privacy and informed consent</span><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have obtained the written informed consent of the patients or subjects mentioned in the article.
