Question 76 1 pts Mr. Abdul, a 68-year-old male presents with complaints of dyspnea on exertion, presyncope, and mild exertional chest pain. Exam reveals a harsh 3/6 late peaking systolic murmur loudest at the right sternal border that radiates to the carotids. Which disorder is suspected? Mitral valve prolapse Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Aortic stenosis Mitral regurgitation

Step 1
- Presyncope: Feeling lightheaded or faint, but not actually losing consciousness. - Mild exertional chest pain: Chest discomfort during physical activity. These three symptoms (dyspnea, presyncope, and angina/chest pain) are the classic triad of symptoms for Show more…

A 55-year-old man has had transient episodes of syncope with exercise for 6 weeks. He has a loud, harsh systolic murmur that radiates to the neck and dampened peripheral pulses. ECG shows left ventricular strain. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? A) Aortic insufficiency B) Aortic stenosis C) Atrial septal defect D) Mitral insufficiency E) Mitral valve prolapse F) Truncus arteriosus G) Ventricular septal defect

A 25-year-old male IV drug user presents with a 3-week history of worsening lethargy and confusion. On examination, his pulse rate is 130bpm, and his blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. Cardiovascular examination reveals raised JVP with large v-waves and a loud systolic murmur. A palpable, pulsatile liver is felt when the hepato-jugular reflex is attempted. What type of murmur is most fitting with this patient's presentation?Choose the most suitable option A.Functional murmur B.Tricuspid stenosis C.Pulmonary stenosis D.Tricuspid regurgitation.

Mr. Helms was admitted to the hospital with chest pain and shortness of breath. He has a history of heart disease. A medical examination and an ECG determined that Mr. Helms had a heart attack resulting in mitral (Left AV) valve failure. This is also called mitral valve prolapse. The prolapse is severe and prevents complete closure of the mitral valve. a) How will this affect blood flow through the heart? b) How would SV change on the right side of the heart and on the left side of the heart? How will this affect CO on each side of the heart? c) Mr. Helms’ breathing was labored. Why might that be?
