    Abstract Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common acute cardiovascular disease. The risk of PE increases with age and mortality is high. Patients are stratified into hemodynamically stable versus unstable patients, as this has important implications for diagnosis and therapy. Since clinical signs and symptoms of acute PE are nonspecific, the clinical likelihood of PE is estimated to guide diagnostic pathways. D-dimer testing is performed in hemodynamically stable patients with low or intermediate probability of PE and the visualization of thromboembolism and its sequelae is commonly achieved with computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), supplemented by ultrasound techniques. With confirmed PE, another risk stratification estimates disease severity and defines intensity and setting of the ensuing treatment. The therapeutic spectrum ranges from outpatient treatment with initial oral anticoagulation to thrombolytic or interventional treatment in the intensive care unit or catheterization laboratory. In single cases, even acute surgical thrombectomy is attempted.

    Abstract In survivors of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), the post-PE syndrome (PPES) may occur. In PPES, patients typically present with persisting or progressive dyspnea on exertion despite 3 months of therapeutic anticoagulation. Therefore, a structured follow-up is warranted to identify patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) with normal pulmonary pressure or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Both are currently understood as a dual vasculopathy, that is, secondary arterio- and arteriolopathy, affecting the large and medium-sized pulmonary arteries as well as the peripheral vessels (diameter < 50 µm). The follow-up algorithm after acute PE commences with identification of clinical symptoms and risk factors for CTEPH. If indicated, a stepwise performance of echocardiography, ventilation-perfusion scan (or alternative imaging), N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and pulmonary artery catheterization with angiography should follow. CTEPH patients should be treated in a multidisciplinary center with adequate experience in the complex therapeutic options, comprising pulmonary endarterectomy, balloon pulmonary angioplasty, and pharmacological interventions.

    Abstract Introduction: Well-trained staff is needed to interpret cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET). We aimed to examine the accuracy of machine learning-based algorithms to classify exercise limitations and their severity in clinical practice compared with expert consensus using patients presenting at a pulmonary clinic.
    Methods: This study included 200 historical CPET data sets (48.5% female) of patients older than 40 yr referred for CPET because of unexplained dyspnea, preoperative examination, and evaluation of therapy progress. Data sets were independently rated by experts according to the severity of pulmonary-vascular, mechanical-ventilatory, cardiocirculatory, and muscular limitations using a visual analog scale. Decision trees and random forests analyses were calculated.
    Results: Mean deviations between experts in the respective limitation categories ranged from 1.0 to 1.1 points (SD, 1.2) before consensus. Random forests identified parameters of particular importance for detecting specific constraints. Central parameters were nadir ventilatory efficiency for CO 2 , ventilatory efficiency slope for CO 2 (pulmonary-vascular limitations); breathing reserve, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and forced vital capacity (mechanical-ventilatory limitations); and peak oxygen uptake, O 2 uptake/work rate slope, and % change of the latter (cardiocirculatory limitations). Thresholds differentiating between different limitation severities were reported. The accuracy of the most accurate decision tree of each category was comparable to expert ratings. Finally, a combined decision tree was created quantifying combined system limitations within one patient.
    Conclusions: Machine learning-based algorithms may be a viable option to facilitate the interpretation of CPET and identify exercise limitations. Our findings may further support clinical decision making and aid the development of standardized rating instruments.

    Abstract The guideline update outlines the advantages as well as the limitations of NIV in the treatment of acute respiratory failure in daily clinical practice and in different indications.Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has a high value in therapy of hypercapnic acute respiratory failure, as it significantly reduces the length of ICU stay and hospitalization as well as mortality.Patients with cardiopulmonary edema and acute respiratory failure should be treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and oxygen in addition to necessary cardiological interventions. This should be done already prehospital and in the emergency department.In case of other forms of acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure with only mild or moderately disturbed gas exchange (PaO

    Abstract Right heart failure may be due to increased afterload caused by

    pulmonary hypertension, increased volume load as in valvular incompetence,

    myocardial ischemia, and cardiomyopathy. The clinical consequences of those

    various disease entities are rather homogenous, venous congestion being the key

    symptom. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings and echocardiography.

    Right ventricular Tei-index and TAPSE (tricuspid annular plane systolic

    excursion) are easily obtained measures of right ventricular contractile

    function. Brain natriuretic peptide is helpful to follow changes in right

    ventricular dysfunction during therapy. Treatment of right heart failure aims

    at the correction of the underlying condition, especially if underlying

    pulmonary disease can be improved. Unifying principles are reduction of

    excessive pre- and afterload, improved myocardial oxygen delivery and

    correction of hypercapnia and acidosis, e.g. by ventilatory support. Diuretic

    therapy must avoid volume depletion resulting in renal failure, whereas volume

    substitution should be done cautiously. Specific pulmonary vasodilators are

    indicated only in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and in inoperable

    chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The standard medical

    treatment of left heart failure is not generally suitable for right heart

    dysfunction, except if secondary to left heart disease. In many instances, an

    interdisciplinary approach to right heart failure is needed, involving the

    expertise both of the cardiologist and the pulmonologist.
