Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) concept offers a rapid and multidisciplinary approach focused on improving outcomes for patients with PE. All institutionalized PERTs in Poland have been invited to join the study. The goal of this registry is to describe current practice and outcomes in patients with acute PE treated by Polish PERTs.
