TLDR
A full understanding of the natural history of pulmonary embolism is elusive at the present time because many basic facts are either uncertain or unknown as mentioned in this paper, which makes it very difficult to classify the primary cause of death in patients in whom pulmonary embolness occurs as a fatal complication of other diseases.About:

TL;DR: Non-thrombotic PE does not represent a distinct clinical syndrome but may be due to a variety of embolic materials and result in a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, making the diagnosis difficult.

TL;DR: Extrapolation of the data from this population-based study suggests that there are approximately 170,000 new cases of clinically recognized venous thromboembolism in patients treated in short-stay hospitals in the United States each year, and 99,000 hospitalizations for recurrent disease.

TL;DR: The estimated total number of symptomatic VTE events (range based on probabilistic sensitivity analysis) per annum within the six EU countries was 465,715; almost three-quarters of all VTE-related deaths were from hospital-acquired VTE.

TL;DR: In a large cohort of apparently healthy men, the presence of a specific point mutation in the factor V gene was associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis, particularly primary venousThromBosis.

The hemodynamic response to pulmonary embolism in patients without prior cardiopulmonary disease
TL;DR: The hemodynamic status of 20 patients free of prior cardiopulmonary disease was related to the degree of pulmonary embolic obstruction estimated by selective pulmonary angiography, suggesting that angiographically detectable emboli virtually do not occur without producing systemic hypoxemia.
