What is PE Risk Stratification? Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition where a blood clot blocks the pulmonary arteries, often due to deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs. PE is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death, following heart attacks and strokes. Timely identification and categorization–or “stratification”–of patients by risk is essential for effective PE management, helping to prioritize diagnostic and therapeutic responses to prevent mortality.
