Zusammenfassung

We present the case of a young woman who was admitted to our hospital due to exertional chest pain. A stress echocardiogram was performed without visualizing segmental contractility alterations of the left ventricle, but right ventricle dilatation and overload signs were seen, both suggestive of an acute pulmonary embolism. The diagnosis was later confirmed with a CT angiography of the pulmonary arteries. Very few cases of pulmonary embolisms initially detected by stress echocardiography have been described in the literature. The patient had a good evolution and was discharged with oral anticoagulation.
