In this podcast episode, we explore groundbreaking research presented at the ISTH 2025 in Washington. Dr. Vicky May, Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et Pneumologie de Québec, shares insights into a new diagnostic algorithm for pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Her work focuses on identifying specific predictors, integrating these with established testing methods, and addressing challenges in the validation process. The discussion also highlights a study on recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), emphasizing symptom patterns and recurrence likelihood. These findings aim to refine clinical diagnostics, offering physicians refined tools for better patient management in thrombosis-related conditions.
