Risk-stratification in pulmonary embolism (PE) includes clinical decision rules, biomarkers and signs of right ventricular (RV) overload. The vector electrocardiogram is a diagnostic tool in which the ECG-derived ventricular gradient optimized for right ventricular pressure overload (VG-RVPO) can be...
