SAN DIEGO, CA

Timothy A. Morris, MD is a Professor of Medicine and the Clinical Service Chief for the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at University of California San Diego (UCSD) Medical Center, Hillcrest facility. His center was ranked in the top 10 hospitals for pulmonary medicine in 2014. It was ranked under the Mayo clinic because of low scores in the “Showing Up to Work Despite the Bitter Cold” category. His outpatient, inpatient and ICU practice includes direct care of patients as well as gently supervising the care provided by housestaff and fellows. He is the longstanding Medical Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory and the Department of Respiratory Care, which has been recognized for its quality and leadership by the American Association for Respiratory Care.

OBJECTIVES:

Participants should be better able to:

1. Describe newly identified populations at high risk for developing acute pulmonary embolism;

2. Understand the advantages of SPECT VQ scanning;

3. Evaluate findings that suggest a high risk of mortality in patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism;

4. Understand the long term effect of pulmonary embolism on symptoms, physiology and quality of life

Do subsegmental PEs need to be treated?

• No high quality randomized controlled trials of anticoagulation therapy versus no intervention in patients with SSPE or incidental SSPE.

• Well-conducted research is required before informed practice decisions can be made.

Phenotypes • Risk populations

– Add heart transplant to list • Hard to image populations

– Consider VQ SPECT • Less acutely vulnerable populations

– Withhold therapy?? • More acutely vulnerable populations

– Thrombolytics only in the sickest – IVC filters?

• Chronically vulnerable populations – Consider persistent perfusion defects after PE
