Cardiovascular Case Histories A 32-year-old nurse who had rheumatic fever as a child noticed a persistent tachycardia and light-headedness. Upon examination, chest x-rays showed an enlarged left atrium and left ventricle. ECG analysis showed atrial fibrillation. There was also mild pulmonary edema. Cardiac evaluation resulted in the following information: Cardiac output (CO) 3.4 L/min Blood pressure (BP) 100/58 mm Hg Left atrial pressure (LAP) 16 mm Hg (normal 8-10) Right ventricular pressure (RVP) 44/8 mm Hg (normal 25/4) Heart Rate (HR) = 120 bpm Heart sounds revealed valvular regurgitation. Based on the information provided, which A-V valve is incompetent, allowing the regurgitation? How did you determine this? If the other A-V valve were incompetent instead of this one, would the CO (L ventricle), and BP be different? If so, how? Would you expect the LAP to be normal? Pulmonary hypertension can develop with L sided heart…
A 62-year-old man who is a chronic smoker with a history of widespread atherosclerotic vascular disease complains of a 3-h history of severe midabdominal pain, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. He has a history of myocardial ischemia and peripheral vascular disease. On examination, he is writhing in pain. His abdomen has normal bowel sounds and minimal tenderness. A small amount of blood is present in the stool specimen. The electrolytes show a low bicarbonate level at 15 mEq/L, and the serum lactate level is high, which are indicative of tissue receiving insufficient oxygenation leading to tissue injury. A surgeon, who is concerned about mesenteric ischemia, has been called to evaluate the patient. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? Appendicitis Cholecystitis Gastritis Superior mesenteric thrombosis Amebic colitis
A 60-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 2-month history of shortness of breath and cough and a 2- week history of progressive swelling of her face.

She has a 15-year history of hypertension treated with enalaprl. She has smoked 1 pack of clgarettes daily for 45 years. Her pulse is 90/min and regular, respirations are 20/min, and blood pressure is 135/90 mm Hg. Physical examination shows edema of the face and neck and jugular venous distention. Breath sounds are mildly decreased throughout all lung fields, and there are no cardiac murmurs. Her serum sodium concentration is 125 mEq/L. Which of the following is the most likely direct cause of this patient's facial edema?
