title: Pulmonary embolism in the Rhodesian Black.
abstract: Pulmonary embolism is less frequent in Blacks than in Whites. Deep vein thrombosis is probably not uncommon in Blacks, but relatively few of them develop pulmonary embolism. Postoperative pulmonary embolism in Blacks is probably far less common than in Whites. We are dealing with a relatively young Black population, compared with the White one, and therefore more cases might be expected among the Black population as its life expectancy improves.
