Causes of Pulmonary Embolism:

Blood clots, often originating from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs or pelvis, are the primary cause of PE. These clots can travel to the lungs and block arteries, disrupting blood flow and oxygen delivery.

Dr. Apar Agarwal utilizes a comprehensive approach at Artus Lungs Clinic to diagnose PE, including:

  • Detailed medical history: Discussing your symptoms, risk factors, and potential exposure to irritants.
  • Physical examination: Checking for signs of respiratory distress and lung abnormalities.
  • Chest X-ray: Providing initial images of the lungs to identify any blockages or abnormalities.
  • High-resolution CT scan: Creating detailed images of the lungs to analyze the extent and location of the blood clot.
  • D-dimer test: Measuring a substance released during blood clot breakdown, indicating a potential PE.
  • Ventilation-perfusion scan (V/Q scan): Assessing airflow and blood flow in the lungs to identify potential blockages.
