Initial hemodynamic status and Acute Mortality in Cancer patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism: from the COMMAND VTE Registry.

PE patients with active cancer less frequently present with initial hemodynamic dysfunction at PE diagnosis, compared with those without. Nevertheless, PE patients with active cancer still show a similar risk of PE-related death and a higher risk of all-cause death at 30 days after PE diagnosis, suggesting the importance of prudent management for this patient population even if their initial hemodynamic status are not compromised.
