She reported the episode occurred while she was engaged in low impact aerobics class. She noticed during exercise that her heart "hurt". symptom analysis of the chest pain and determined that the patient describes it chest pressure. no dyspnea with exercise and denies orthopnea or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. NP notes that VS are normal, lungs are clear There is a laterally displaced, sustained apical impulse &a grade 4/6 mid-systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur, heard loudest at the base & radiating to the neck. There is also an S4 gallop. no peripheral edema noted. There is a laterally displaced, sustained apical impulse & a grade 4/6 mid-systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur, heard loudest at the base and radiating to the neck. There is S4 gallop. ECG in the office discovers left ventricular hypertrophy - answerAortic Stenosis A 60-year old male reports to the primary care office with "shortness of breath" that started a few days after being released from the hospital following angioplasty and stent placement. Upon exam, the NP observes that the patient does have dyspnea and jugular vein distention. Crackles are also noted in lung bases bilaterally. A blowing holosystolic murmur is also heard at the heart's apex with radiation into the axilla. - answerMitral Regurgitation A woman brings her 67-year old father to see the NP at the primary care clinic. The patient reports that he has experienced shortness of breath for the last two months that has continued to get progressively worse. He expresses great concern that this development has kept him from participating in his Silver Sneaker's program that he enjoys with his friends. He can barely walk a city block or walk up the stairs in his home without becoming short of breath. Upon exam, the NP notes a blood pressure of 180/ mmHg and peripheral pulses are palpable at 4+. The cardiac exam reveals several murmurs: an early diastolic murmur that is high-pitched located loudest at the left lower sternal border; a diastolic rumbling sound heard at the heart's apex and a systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur heard at the left upper sternal border. A chest x-ray is performed at the office & shows pulmonary edema and cardiomegaly. - answerAortic Regurgitation A 40-year old male reports to the primary care office with a chief complaint of dyspnea, especially with activity, over the last 5 days. He also notices that several times during the last two days that he could feel his heart "pounding and racing". On collecting the medical history, the patient indicates that he had rheumatic heart disease as a young child but remembers little about it. On exam, the NP determines that he is tachycardic with a heart rate of 120 beats/minute that is irregularly irregular. A low-pitched murmur
