Venous thromboembolism is a relatively common disease especially with elderly and high risk patients such as those with cancer, immobilized

due to injury or carriers of thrombophilic gene mutations. The incidence is 0.8 to 2 in 1000 patients/year. In our review we

analyzed the incidence of pulmonary embolism, risk factors, hemodynamic severity, treatment strategy and its efficacy with patients

hospitalizated for acute pulmonary embolism in a district hospital. We analyzed the data of a group of 657 in-patients, who were admitted

to the Department of Internal Medicine in Frýdek-Místek Hospital for pulmonary embolism in the period between January 2000 and

December 2006.

Keywords: acute pulmonary embolism, incidence, severity, treatment, intravenous thrombolysis
