risk classification of pulmonary embolism

High risk (“massive”):

* hemodyn unstable w/ arrest,
* obstructive shock
* persistent HoTN

Intermediate risk (“submassive”):

* sPESI ≥1
	* “Intermediate-high” if both RV dysfunction & elevated Tn
	* “Intermediate-low” if either or neither RV dysfunction or elevated Tn

Low risk:

* clinically stable,
* sPESI = 0,
* normal RV function,
* normal Tn
