CVS Case A 47-year-old female patient with a history of mitral stenosis was admitted due to decreased in sensorium accompanied by fever, cough and worsening dyspnea. Manifestations started 3 days prior to consult (PTC) because of worsening dyspnea on small exertions accompanied by productive cough with purulent sputum but afebrile. She took her usual prescriptions given by her attending physician, Amiodarone, Furosemide, Losartan, Diltiazem and Carbocysteine which afforded temporary relief. A day PTC, she felt that dyspnea was worsening hence she booked an appointment with her physician. At the OPD, while waiting for her turn to be examined, the patient was asymptomatic. The nursing attendant took her BP and was recorded at 110/80 mmHg and a heart rate of 89 bpm, RR was 23 bpm with no signs of dyspnea. After 2 hours, the secretary was calling her name but she was not replying. She was seen sitting on one side of the bench, stuporous with cold clammy extremities and was diaphoretic. She was immediately brought at the emergency department where she was managed. PE: Stuporous, responds when her name is called. BP-80/50 mmHg, CR-98 bpm (irregular), RR - 12 bpm, slightly labored, T-38.1°C; Wt-63 Kg.; Height - 140 cms. Heart: Dynamic precordium, PMI at 6th ICS left anterior axillary line, (+) heaves, (+) thrills, (+) blowing holosystolic murmur at the 6th ICS MCL that radiates at the left axilla. Chest and Lungs: Asymmetrical chest expansion with lagging on the right, Increased tactile fremitus on both lung fields but more on the right, Dull on percussion on both basal lung fields. (+) coarse crackles are heard on both lung fields, (+) wheezing. Abdomen: Slightly globular, symmetric, normoactive bowel sounds, soft, tympanitic Extremities: (+++) bipedal edema, (+1) dorsalis pedis pulses. CXR Result:
