Other ECG changes that may be seen include: Right bundle branch block (usually due to RVH) Multifocal atrial tachycardia – a rapid, irregular atrial tachycardia with at least 3 distinct P wave morphologies (associated with increased mortality in patients [lifeinthefastlane.com]
Don’t forget about tachycardia! Tachycardia is the most likely EKG finding in a patient with acute PE. This tachycardia is usually of the sinus variety, although some may present with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. [ditchdocem.com]

Increased Jugular Venous Pressure

Ketonuria
Blood examination confirmed hyperglycemia, ketonuria, and metabolic acidosis. Therefore, the initial diagnosis was metabolic encephalopathy caused by infection, dehydration, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). [kjim.org]
Axis

Right Axis Deviation
Right axis deviation, dominant R wave in V1 and deep S wave in V6 suggest right ventricular hypertrophy due to cor pulmonale. [lifeinthefastlane.com]
Other ECG findings in PE include right bundle-branch block, right axis deviation, atrial fibrillation, and T-wave changes ( 2, 3 ). [ispub.com]

ECG evidence of RV hypertrophy (eg, right axis deviation, QR wave in lead V1, and dominant R wave in leads V1 to V3) correlates well with degree of pulmonary hypertension. [msdmanuals.com]

Prognosis
OBJECTIVE: We performed a longitudinal transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) study to determine whether this incidence, and its severe implications for prognosis, might have changed in our unit as we altered respiratory strategy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Prognosis depends strongly on the underlying cause of the acute right heart syndrome. In pulmonary embolism, prognosis is quite good if the patient can be stabilized hemodynamically, but very poor ( 50% mortality) if not. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Our case represents one of the first reports of a rare etiology for acute cor pulmonale--hypersensitivity pneumonitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As a general rule, the treatment consists in rapidly reducing resistance to blood flow in the pulmonary circulation, obtained by a specific strategy according to etiology. [journals.lww.com]
