Screening for CTEPH/CTEPD should be performed in patients with reduced exercise tolerance compared to the pre PE period. It is not effective in asymptomatic PE survivors. Patients with CTEPH/CTED predominantly had abnormalities indicating chronic thromboembolism in the echocardiographic assessment. NT-proBNP and electrocardiographic characteristics of right ventricle overload proved to be insufficient in predicting CTEPH/CTEPD development.
