[Prognostic value of syncope in the presentation of pulmonary embolism].
Although the prognostic value of syncope has not been specifically addressed, it has generally been considered an indicator of poor prognosis in pulmonary embolism. The objective of this study was to carry out a prospective evaluation of the risk of recurrence and/or death in patients with pulmonary embolism that presents with syncope. ⋯ Patients with pulmonary embolism that presents with syncope do not have an increased risk of recurrence and/or death.
