AB  - A  69-year-old  woman  was  referred  to  by  her  local  medical  practitioner  with  worsening  exertional  dyspnea  (NYHA  III).  She  found  difficulty  mobilizing  to  her  mailbox  (120  m  on  a  flat  surface),  as  well  as  doing  light  housework  and  dressing.  Her  background  history  is  relevant  for  long-standing  hypertension  (HTN),  dyslipidemia,  obesity,  stage  3  renal  impairment,  and  paroxysmal  atrial  fibrillation.  Her  medication  profile  is  listed  in  Table  6-1.  Physical  examination  revealed  a  well-looking  woman  with  a  blood  pressure  of  155/80  mm  Hg  on  both  arms,  a  heart  rate  of  72  in  a  regular  rhythm,  and  respiratory  rate  of  20.  Anthropomorphic  measurements  were  a  height  of  162  cm  and  weight  of  84  kg,  with  a  calculated  body  mass  index  (BMI)  of  32  kg/m2.  Precordial  examination  revealed  the  apex  beat  to  be  nondisplaced,  with  no  palpable  heaves  or  thrills.  No  murmurs  were  auscultated.  The  jugular  venous  pressure  was  estimated  at  2  cm,  and  there  was  trace  pedal  edema.  The  remainder  of  the  physical  examination  was  normal.  The  electrocardiogram  (ECG)  confirmed  sinus  rhythm,  with  features  of  left  ventricular  hypertrophy  (LVH)  and  left  axis  deviation.  Chest  radiography  demonstrated  clear  lung  fields  and  borderline  cardiomegaly.
