The quantitative echocardiographic parameters of RV systolic function and pulmonary artery blood flow are associated with the PESI score and thus increase its predictive value to a limited extent. PE- specific findings: a thrombus in the right heart cavity and the 60/60 sign are effective adjuncts to the PESI score.
