Thank you so much for your feedback Pavikavarma!
I agree with your recommendation regarding the lead and have since made corrections to reorganize the placement of the sentence "The obstruction of the blood flow through the lungs..." and have also added a part explaining the anatomical relationship between the right ventricle and the pulmonary circulation. I have also added an epidemiology section to the lead and agree that its placement here is appropriate.
Upon reviewing the signs and symptoms section, I do agree that it is heavy with medical jargon. I do believe that it holds value in that it can be helpful if health professionals or students read this article, but will decide whether it would also be helpful to further define the additional terms that are included, since that could potentially lead to further interrupt the readability of the article rather than help it.
Under the imaging section, I do agree that it may be less helpful to include specific numbers of specificity and sensitivity.
In regards to the prevention section, I am working to add to the section to include your suggestions, and believe they are all helpful suggestions.
Your point regarding the research paper terminology is valid and I will work to make adjustments to this section.
Thank you so much for your feedback! It was very helpful and I believe that they will help to greatly improve this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bangabullet90 ( talk • contribs) 23:17, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

The term "saddle embolus" appears in three image texts, but not once in the main text. This seemed unusual, and the topic of saddle embolus could be usefully added to the page. Buzwad ( talk) 13:40, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

I see nothing particularly out of date however... not that I am a doctor, but I have researched the subject. I thought this was a good article overall. My feedback, since I am here and I see you are asking, is that I don't see anything about upper-extremity DVTs. Other than that I am going to take it that that listing must have been way out of date...I am not a good test case for can a non-doctor read it ;) since I have researched the topic. And thank you for your work on the article. Elinruby ( talk) 09:29, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
