Pulmonary Embolism: Next Generation

Pulmonary Embolism: Next Generation – Lauren Westafer

Lauren Westafer introduces the concept of a new generation of pulmonary embolism (PE). What was once considered a deadly disease process now carries a mortality rate of <3%, which may be driven by overtesting as well as overdiagnosis. This talk explores the phenomenon and current evidence-based approaches to the evaluation and treatment of pulmonary embolus.

She also dabbles in research and implementation science and is currently funded by an NHLBI K12 grant studying the implementation of evidence-based approaches to testing for pulmonary embolism.
