The patient was managed medically and was referred to us in view of worsening symptoms with severe left ventricular dysfunction and moderate aortic regurgitation. Echocardiogram, CT aortogram and late gadolinium imaging of the aorta have been shown in figure 1. The coronaryangiogram was normal.
Category 1 : Sudden narrowing of a coronary artery due to ACS (plaque rupture with thrombosis and/or downstream showering of platelet-fibrin aggregates. It’s judicious, then, to arrange for coronaryangiogram. Supply-demand mismatch (non-occlusive coronary disease, or exacerbation of preexisting flow insufficiency) a.
Look at the aortic outflow tract. The diagnostic coronaryangiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Aorticangiogram did not reveal aortic dissection. What do you see? Answer below in the still shot.
See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case? Hgb 11g/dL (110g/L) and leukocytosis, and a mildly elevated troponin (36 ng/L, with normal 1mm STE in aVR due to ACS will require coronary artery bypass surgery for revascularization, the infarct artery is often not the LM, but rather the LAD or severe 3-vessel disease.
Echocardiogram is indicated (Correct) C. Start aspirin and Plavix Correct answer: (B) (B) Echocardiogram is indicated. While the first one may radiate to the axilla and base, but usually not into the neck, it does reflect both aortic outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation in patients with a large gradient.
He visited an outpatient clinic for it and an echocardiogram and exercise stress test was normal. As his pain was very severe, emergency physicians concerned of aortic dissection and ordered a thoracic CT scan. Here is the coronaryangiogram: A distal thrombotic right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion !
More troponin values were measured at the cardiac center: 2327- 267 ng/L 0821- 355 ng/L 1108- 305 ng/L An echocardiogram on day three of the patients admission showed an ejection fraction of 46% with abnormal basal inferior and basal lateral segments, and severe aortic stenosis. What "initiates" the aortic stenosis cascade?
