On this visit, he expressed worsening exercise tolerance, new orthopnea, and he told his provider that the omeprazole did not relieve any symptoms. The red arrow shows a roughly 80% stenosis of the proximal LAD. The blue arrow shows another stenosis of the LAD distal to the first diagonal branch of about 99%.

If you’ve been diagnosed with aortic stenosis, you might have come across the term TAVR. Understanding Aortic Stenosis The aortic valve regulates blood flow from your heart’s main pumping chamber to the rest of your body. In aortic stenosis, the valve leaflets stiffen and narrow, restricting blood flow.

The learning point is that, in VT ablation, looking for anatomical diastolic tracts and its electrical activity becomes a key exercise. We can take a cue from the vintage clinical auscultation classes, where we ask the medical students to look for MDM (mid-diastolic murmur) in mitral stenosis in the left lateral posture in expiratory phase.

It is prudent to understand, that even in systolic LV failure; it is the raised LVEDP that causes the symptoms and marks the limits of exercise capacity. We know a small ASD decompresses mitral stenosis, and the combination of ASD and MS, Lutembacher, is a well-known syndrome called Lutembacher.

The reason they have chosen to wear gym clothes is that they expect to do an exercise stress test as part of their assessment.
