pulmonary embolism market
Key Highlights
As per the research study by Willich et al. (2018), empirical estimates of Pulmonary Embolism incidence rates, based on European cohort studies, range from 0.15 per 1000 population per year in Spain, 0.189 in Italy, 0.342 in the UK, to 0.60 in France. The rates vary partially depending on the setting of the study and the age of the study population. In contrast to population cohort studies, an incidence-based epidemiological model estimated that the Pulmonary Embolism incidence rate is 0.95 per 1000 population per year and the occurrence of Pulmonary Embolism events is almost a third of a million per year in the EU.
The Pulmonary Embolism epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented as Total Incident Cases of Pulmonary Embolism, Gender-specific Cases of Pulmonary Embolism, Severity-specific Cases of Pulmonary Embolism, and Treated Cases of Pulmonary Embolism in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2019 to 2032.

Pulmonary Embolism Market: Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
DelveInsight’s Pulmonary Embolism market report gives a thorough understanding of Pulmonary Embolism by including details such as disease definition, Pulmonary Embolism symptoms, causes, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
Pulmonary Embolism is a blockage within a pulmonary artery in the lungs. It is a common and potentially deadly form of venous thromboembolic disease. The most common cause of such a blockage is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein in the leg and travels to the lungs, where it gets lodged in a smaller lung artery. Almost all blood clots that cause Pulmonary Embolism are formed in the deep leg veins. Clots also can form in the deep veins of the arms or pelvis.
Pulmonary Embolism is also one of the most common causes of cardiovascular death and is associated with multiple inherited and acquired risk factors as well as advanced age. The populations at greatest risk of Pulmonary Embolism include those who had recent trauma, had recent major surgery, are obese, are pregnant, underwent hormonal therapy, smoke, and have certain cancers.
Half the people who have Pulmonary Embolism have no symptoms. If they do have symptoms, they can include shortness of breath, chest pain, or coughing up blood. Pulmonary Embolism symptoms of a blood clot include warmth, swelling, pain, tenderness, and redness of the leg.
Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis
A diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism is often difficult to diagnose because of the variable nature of the presentation of Pulmonary Embolism. The evaluation largely depends on the likelihood of Pulmonary Embolism and the stability of the patient. There are scoring systems to assist in the determination of the likelihood of Pulmonary Embolism and thromboembolic events. The diagnosis of a Pulmonary Embolism is achieved through clinical evaluation, laboratory testing such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and troponin, electrocardiogram (EKG), pulmonary angiogram, radiologic examinations, and echocardiography.
Other tests include D-dimer levels test, CT (computed tomography) scan or CT angiogram, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Doppler ultrasound, ventilation-perfusion scans, and pulmonary angiogram.
Pulmonary Embolism Treatment
Pulmonary Embolism Treatment is based on the severity, which is generally classified as massive (high risk), submassive (intermediate risk), or nonmassive (low risk). The purpose of treatment is to break up clots and help keep other clots from forming. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent serious complications or death.
Pulmonary Embolism Treatment with anticoagulants, or blood thinners, keep blood clots from getting larger and stop new clots from forming, while thrombolytics are medicines to dissolve blood clots. Depending on the severity of the blood clot and its effect on other organs a thrombolytic therapy, surgical embolectomy or interventional procedures may be performed to improve the blood flow.
Other procedures include catheter-assisted thrombus removal which uses a flexible tube to reach a blood clot in the lung and a vena cava filter used in some people who cannot take blood thinners.
Pulmonary Embolism Epidemiology
The Pulmonary Embolism epidemiology section provides insights into the historical and current Pulmonary Embolism patient pool and forecasted trends for seven individual major countries. It helps recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the Pulmonary Embolism report also provides the diagnosed patient pool, its trends, and assumptions undertaken.
Key findings
According to a large-population, retrospective, cohort study by Clark et al. (2019), Pulmonary Embolism is a significant health concern, affecting mainly the adult and elderly population. The overall annual incidence of Pulmonary Embolism was 0.6 per 1,000. The incidence of Pulmonary Embolism was rare in the pediatric population at a rate of less than 1 out of 100,000 and relatively common after the age of 75 years at a rate of 1 out of 100. It should be noted that the actual incidence of Pulmonary Embolism was likely significantly higher as autopsy studies have shown that a premortem diagnosis had occurred in only 30%−45% of patients.
As per the research study by Willich et al. (2018), empirical estimates of Pulmonary Embolism incidence rates, based on European cohort studies, range from 0.15 per 1000 population per year in Spain, 0.189 in Italy, 0.342 in the UK, to 0.60 in France. The rates vary partially depending on the setting of the study and the age of the study population. In contrast to population cohort studies, an incidence-based epidemiological model estimated that the Pulmonary Embolism incidence rate is 0.95 per 1000 population per year and the occurrence of Pulmonary Embolism events is almost a third of a million per year in the EU.
