Description
Shunsuke Eguchi and co-authors tested whether a heart strain measure still predicts short-term death in intermediate-risk lung clots at a second hospital, in a 2026 study. Their group had earlier found that right ventricle strain below a set cutoff flagged danger. This external check used records from an independent center, for patients treated from 2019 to 2022.
Of 119 patients, six died within thirty days, and strain could be measured in 92 percent. Those who died showed lower strain values than survivors. The measure stayed linked to death in single-variable analysis. The authors weigh how much trust the earlier cutoff deserves in present-day practice.
