Abstract
Echocardiography provides important clues for diagnosis of submassive pulmonary embolism in a high-risk patient. Disproportionate right ventricular dilatation and dysfunction with apical sparing in the setting of mild-to-moderate pulmonary artery hypertension should raise suspicion. Absence of any regional wall motion abnormality of left ventricle is an important negative finding.
