History:

A 40 y/o lady with history of valve surgery is admitted to hospital because of left hemiparesis, she only took warfarin as her medication & her last INR was about 2.2. Echocardiography is shown.

Question:

According to the echocardiography, what is your plan for patient ?

History:

The 33-year-old man, with a previous medical history of thymic lymphoma and having undergone chemotherapy two years ago, showed no detectable malignancy in a PET scan one year ago. His recent presentation to the emergency room complaining of dyspnea prompted further investigation. Notably, physical examination revealed a muffled heart sound and prominence of the jugular venous pressure (JVP). Subsequent echocardiography indicated the presence of massive pericardial effusion accompanied by a swinging heart.

 

 

Question:

In the management of this condition, pericardial fluid was drained from the patient. Regarding the analysis performed on the drained fluid, which of the following options is incorrect?

 

Pericardial Fluid:

- Cholesterol: 107 mg/dL

- Triglycerides (TG): 1027 mg/dL

- Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): 140 U/L

Serum:

- LDH: 154 U/L

- Cholesterol: 120 mg/dL

Case #173-Hamid Khederloo

Case #214-Hamid Khederloo

History:

A 58-year-old lady with ICD_VR who presented with diaphragmatic twitching from 4 days ago.
