Factors associated with the detection of raised systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) levels in patients with a prior episode of pulmonary embolism (PE) are not well known. We used the RIETE Registry database to identify factors associated with the finding of sPAP levels }= 50 mm Hg on trans-thoracic echocardiography, in 557 patients with a prior episode of acute, symptomatic PE.

Women aged }= 70 years more likely had raised sPAP levels than men after a PE episode. Additional variables influencing this risk seem to differ according to gender.
