Echocardiography is one of the basic methods in suspected acute pulmonary embolism. In addition to the differential diagnosis of other cardiovascular diseases with similar clinical manifestations to pulmonary embolism, it allows, above all, non-invasive risk stratification of the patient and thus contributes to the decision-making process regarding the treatment strategy. The investigation should should be performed as early as possible at the patient's bedside.

Keywords: echocardiography, pulmonary embolism, risk stratification, right ventricle.
