The most common symptoms include acute dyspnea, chest pain, syncope or presyncope and hemoptysis. The spectrum of clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic patients to hemodynamic instability and shock. The clinical examination findings of the lungs are typically unremarkable. The suspected diagnosis of pulmonary embolism can be confirmed using imaging techniques.
