FABP3 and pulmonary embolism: Today, scores such as Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI), which evaluates gender, history of chronic diseases (cancer, heart failure, and chronic lung disease), heart rate, systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, body temperature, altered mental status and oxygen saturation, are used to determine the risk status in pulmonary embolism patients; alternative laboratory methods such as H-FABP analysis and prognostic methods for low-risk patient groups such as BOVA scoring also appear as prognostic predictive alternatives [3, 4].
