The worsening of dyspnoea is a frequent occurrence and often leads patients to consult the emergency department. Pulmonary embolism can then be an exacerbation factor, a differential diagnosis or even a secondary diagnosis. The prevalence of pulmonary embolism in these patients is unknown, especially in cases of chronic heart failure. The challenge lies in needing to carry out a systematic or targeted diagnostic strategy for pulmonary embolism. The occurrence of a pulmonary embolism in patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disease clearly worsens their prognosis. In this narrative review, we study pulmonary embolism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, after which we turn to pulmonary embolism and chronic heart failure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13010141","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T02:23:06Z","timestamp":1672626186000},"page":"141","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Deterioration in Chronic Cardiopulmonary Disease: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Delphine","family":"Douillet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, University Hospital of Angers, Avenue of the Hotel Dieu, 49100 Angers, France"},{"name":"UMR MitoVasc CNRS 6215 INSERM 1083, University of Angers, 49100 Angers, France"},{"name":"FCRIN, INNOVTE, 42023 Saint-\u00c9tienne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2486-3049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tahar","family":"Chouihed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, University Hospital of Nancy, Nancy-Universit\u00e9, 54000 Nancy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8214-3010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laurent","family":"Bertoletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FCRIN, INNOVTE, 42023 Saint-\u00c9tienne, France"},{"name":"Department of Vascular and Therapeutic Medicine, University Hospital of Saint-Etienne, University Jean Monnet, Mines Saint-\u00c9tienne, INSERM, U 1059, CIC1408, 42023 Saint-\u00c9tienne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre-Marie","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, University Hospital of Angers, Avenue of the Hotel Dieu, 49100 Angers, France"},{"name":"UMR MitoVasc CNRS 6215 INSERM 1083, University of Angers, 49100 Angers, France"},{"name":"FCRIN, INNOVTE, 42023 Saint-\u00c9tienne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"328","DOI":"10.1111\/acem.13118","article-title":"An Observational Study of Dyspnea in Emergency Departments: The Asia, Australia, and New Zealand Dyspnea in Emergency Departments Study (AANZDEM)","volume":"24","author":"Kelly","year":"2017","journal-title":"Acad.
