Post-PE Patient Management: Suggestions by a CTEPH Sufferer
In this post, I outline the necessary measures to care for a patient following a pulmonary embolism. I emphasize the significance of regular check-ups to identify chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) early on. Detecting this condition early can minimize the damage to the heart and greatly enhance the chances of recovery. The suggestions are based on my personal experience as a CTEPH patient and my understanding of the literature.
