AB  - A  74-year-old  man  had  been  in  his  usual  health  and  able  to  perform  activities  of  daily  living  (including  walking  1  block)  until  about  3  weeks  ago,  when  he  started  to  suffer  shortness  of  breath  that  impaired  his  daily  activity.  He  also  found  the  need  to  sleep  on  3  pillows.  When  asked,  he  complained  of  cough,  but  denied  fever,  and  reported  that  his  legs  had  become  swollen.  The  patient’s  past  medical  history  included  hypertension  (HTN),  atrial  fibrillation,  chronic  obstructive  pulmonary  disease,  and  ischemic  heart  disease  (IHD).  His  medications  were  nifedipine,  warfarin,  amiodarone,  and  aspirin.  Physical  examination  found  an  afebrile  patient  with  an  irregular  heart  rate  (HR)  at  110  beats  per  minute  (Figure  19-1).  His  respiratory  rate  (RR)  was  26  breaths  per  minute,  blood  pressure  (BP)  160/92  mm  Hg,  and  the  oxygen  saturation  by  pulse  oximetry  (SpO2)  was  92%  on  room  air.  His  neck  examination  revealed  jugular  venous  distention  (Figure  19-2),  he  had  an  S3  and  rales  on  auscultation,  as  well  as  an  enlarged  liver  and  3+  pretibial  edema  (Figure  19-3).
