Aspects of thrombophelia and thrombogenesis with their importance in the onset of acute pulmonary embolism are emphasized as is the optimál application of diagnostic possibilities in the recognition of acute pulmonary embolism (such as scintigraphy, echocardiography, MR diagnostics). The main aim is to work out a prognostic risk stratification which can serve as the basis for improved intervention in the acute and long-term course after acute pulmonary embolism, .graded according to aggressivity. Influence on the coagulation system using heparin derivatives, the use of thrombolytics and the attendant risks are discussed in this connection, as are the status of catheter-based and surgical therapeutic options. Modern diagnostics and therapy of acute pulmonary embolism has become differentiated, and at the same time more successful and less dispensable in the further reduction of the morbidity and mortality of which important cardiovascular disease.
