Pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with the presence of tachycardia and tachypnea.  Signs of right ventricular failure include jugular venous distension, a right sided S3, and a parasternal lift.  These signs are often present in cases of massive and submassive pulmonary emboli, also known as intermediate-risk and high-risk respectively.  Since PE most commonly occurs as a complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), the physical<unk>  should include an assessment of the lower extremities for erythema, tenderness, and/or swelling.
