Case for fellows. A 56 year old male with previous AWMI 3 yrs back, post PCI to LAD with good LV function on regular medication came with recurrent episodes of breathlessness for one month with an acute dyspnoea episode. The DM resident picked up acute pulmonary embolism correctly to my surprise. During rounds I was really surprised to see how he sharply picked up the diagnosis. I asked him how he considered PE first rather than LVF? Your answers.
