The frequency with which pulmonary embolism remains unrecognized clinically is well known and explains the value of pulmonary scintigraphy when there is the slightest suspicion of pulmonary embolism or in cases of unexplained dyspnoea of effort after a standard cardiac and pleuro-pulmonary examination. The practical value of a regular pre-operative electrocardiogram and of anticoagulant treatment during the acute phase of myocardial infarction are emphasized. Certain precautions to be observed during the use of antivitamins K in cases of heart failure are outlined.
