Usually this is due to embolism of a thrombus (blood clot) from the |deep veins in the legs, a process termed venous thromboembolism.

Usually this is due to embolism of a thrombus (blood clot) from the |deep veins in the legs, a process termed venous thromboembolism. The obstruction of the blood flow through the lungs and the resultant pressure on the right ventricle of the heart leads to the symptoms and signs of PE.

It is best to examine the precordium with the patient supine because if the patient is turned on the left side, the apical region of the heart is displaced against the lateral chest wall, distorting the chest movements.
