The prevalence of pulmonary embolism in chronically paralyzed subjects: a review of available evidence.
J H Frisbie,Gaurav Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: PE is not infrequent in the chronic SCI subject; but its presentation may be subclinical; and its apparent recurrence may lead to pulmonary hypertension.

Pulmonary embolism after manual muscle testing in an incomplete paraplegic patient: a case report.
Apichana Kovindha,P Kammuang-lue +1 more
TL;DR: Strong hip and knee muscle contractions during manual muscle testing were suspected of triggering massive pulmonary emboli from the proximal vein of the right leg of a paraplegic patient who had functional motor movements and did not receive any thromboembolic prophylaxis which caused unexpected fatal pulmonary embolism.

Hemostatic parameters in patients with spinal cord injury in subacute and chronic phase of the rehabilitation
Magdalena Mackiewicz-Milewska,Andrzej C. Kroszczyński,Małgorzata Cisowska-Adamiak,Jerzy Pyskir,D. Rosc,Wojciech Hagner +5 more
TL;DR: D-dimer levels were still elevated twelve months after SCI and TF levels were also elevated over 12 months after inury, indicating that sub-acute and even chronic SCI patients have disturbed coagulation and fibrynolitic system.

Recurrent, massive pulmonary embolism in chronic myelopathy: a case report
J H Frisbie,G V R K Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: Massive PE after surgery in a patient with chronic paraplegia recurred 5 years later in association with severe infection and mobilization after bed rest, which resulted in death.

Response: Pulmonary embolism in chronic spinal cord injury
J H Frisbie,Gaurav Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: It appears that the natural history of PE after SCI is an initially high prevalence, tapering after the first year of paralysis, but followed eventually by another high prevalence of PE.

Risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after acute infection in a community setting
TL;DR: The results confirm that infection should be added to the list of precipitants for venous thromboembolism, and suggest a causal relation with acute infections, as well as confirming that infection is associated with a transient increased risk of venousThrombosis in a community setting.

Cause of death for patients with spinal cord injuries.
TL;DR: Pneumonia was the leading cause of death among quadriplegics and persons at least 55 years of age, while among paraplegic and persons who were less than 55 years old, subsequent unintentional injuries and suicides were the leading causes of death.

Bundle-branch block in middle-aged men: risk of complications and death over 28 years The Primary Prevention Study in Göteborg, Sweden
TL;DR: The presence of BBB was strongly associated with future high-degree atrioventricular block that was more pronounced for left-BBB, and men with left- BBB have a substantially increased risk of coronary death, mainly due to sudden death outside the hospital setting.
