Persistent or worsening of dyspnea and limitation of physical activities in patients after an episode of acute pulmonary thromboembolism, reported in long-term studies, may subsequently be the main determinant of impaired quality of life. Physical rehabilitation and patient education after a thromboembolic event has not taken its place in the management of this group of patients. We set out to implement of patient education and the partially supervised physical rehabilitation program at home for patients after PE in the first 3 months after the acute event. The results of our study demonstrated the increase in functional capacity, the improvement of the quality of life, the reduction of the symptom of dyspnea. This article is part of the results of the study within the state project with the figure 20.80009.8007.28.
