Abstract

All patients with cardiovascular diseases have a risk of developing pulmonary embolism no matter if they had any history of PE in anamnesis or no. Complications such as (atrial fibrillation, extrasystolic arrhythmia, COPD, Chronic bronchitis, autoimmune thyreoiditis worsen the prognosis and increase the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with cardiovascular diseases. More intensive anticoagulant/antiaggregant therapy should be included into protocols of treatment of the patients with stable angina and atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis due to high risk of development pulmonary embolism PE in such patients.
