title: [Thromboembolic incidents in the cardiology department].
abstract: The authors evaluate the incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) and its impact in patients who died in the cardiological department of the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine during two five-year periods (1979-1983 and 1984-1988). These two periods are compared with the period 1974-1978 in the same department. The purpose was to assess the trend of fundamental findings (number of post-mortem examinations, number of PE, number of fatal PE, source of thrombosis in PE etc.). Based on the assembled findings it may be said that the number of p.m. examinations is increasing and thus also the number of PE. There was an obvious rise of the number of women with embolic, attacks in the cardiological department. Correct clinical diagnoses are equal in all periods.
