Pulmonary embolism (PE) poses a challenge to physicians, as it can be difficult
to diagnose but results in significant mortality and morbidity in patients.
Diagnosing PE requires an integrated approach using clinical findings,
electrocardiography (ECG), blood investigations and imaging modalities.
Abnormalities in ECG are common among patients with massive acute PE and can
serve as a prognostic indicator. In this article, we describe the ECG
presentations of two patients diagnosed with PE, and review the literature on the
various types of ECG presentations and their role in predicting the prognosis of
PE.
