1Injury versus an ischemic infarction
A fictional older adult with chronic kidney disease has a mildly elevated troponin concentration during an assessment for nonspecific fatigue. The first ECG has no new ischemic changes.
167 words, under 1 min2A narrow-complex rhythm near 150
A fictional adult reports persistent palpitations but has adequate perfusion and no immediately identified instability attributable to the rhythm. The ECG is regular and narrow-complex with a ventricular rate close to 150 beats per minute.
165 words, under 1 min3A supplied hemodynamic calculation
A fictional cardiovascular laboratory records a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 46 mmHg, a pulmonary artery wedge pressure of 14 mmHg and cardiac output of 4 liters per minute. For this educational calculation the measurements are assumed technically valid and obtained under the specified resting conditions.
157 words, under 1 min4Discordant aortic valve measurements
A fictional adult with exertional breathlessness has a small calculated aortic valve area and a lower-than-expected mean transvalvular gradient. The ventricle has impaired systolic function and a reduced measured stroke volume.
