    RIGHT CORONARY ARTERY: This is a dominant vessel. There is a long segment of severe subtotal disease extending from the proximal portion to almost the mid third. The rest of this vessel also appears to be diffusely diseased. The posterior descending branch is identified and this is 80% narrowed at its ostium. There is another 90% lesion in the distal 1/3 of this vessel. The AV branch is diminutive. LEFT CORONARY ARTERY: Left main trunk is calcified and has a 60%–70% distal narrowing. Left anterior descending is severely diseased from its origin, and gives off a diagonal and septal perforator and then the LAD is totally occluded. The circumflex calcification is seen in the main trunk where moderate plaque is seen compromising the lumen about 50%–60%. The circumflex then divides into two branches; the first is the lateral branch and then a second lateral branch. The first lateral branch is severely narrowed in its proximal portion to 90%, and then has another long segment of about 75% narrowing. This does appear to be a diffusely diseased vessel. The second lateral branch also has a long segment of 90% disease distally. The terminal AV branch of the circumflex is…

    You will need to orient the heart so that the vena cava is placed dorsally. The apex of the heart will be inferior to the base. The superior/inferior left pulmonary veins along with the superior/inferior right pulmonary veins create an X shape on the dorsal/posterior side of the heart. The Superior vena cava lies just superiorly to the right pulmonary veins. Below the right pulmonary veins is where the right atrium can be found. The left atrium is just inferior to the left pulmonary veins. Bordering the left atrium is the coronary sinus. The coronary sinus separates the left/right atria from the left/right ventricles. Running longitudinally and separating the left ventricle from the right ventricle is the anterior interventricular sulcus. The coronary artery runs on an oblique angle from the right atrium to about midway down the right ventricle. The pulmonary trunk is on the superior end of the right ventricle and opens up inside of it via the pulmonary valve.…

    You are working in the internal medicine clinic of a large teaching hospital. Today your first patient is 70-year-old J.M, a man who has been coming to the clinic for several years for management of CAD and HTN. A cardiac catheterization done a year ago showed 50% stenosis of the circumflex coronary artery. He has had episodes of dizziness for the past 6 months and orthostatic hypotension, shoulder discomfort, and decreased exercise tolerance for the past 2 months. On his last clinic visit 3 weeks ago, a CXR showed cardiomegaly and a 12-lead ECG showed sinus tachycardia with left bundle branch block. You review his morning blood work and initial assessment.…

    EKG was obtained immediately on Ms. [Name]'s arrival. It shows her to be in a sinus tachycardia with a rate of 130 beats per minute. She has a right axis. She has evidence of a right bundle branch block. This EKG was repeated and verified to be the same. On comparison with old EKG's, there is no change. However, her most recent EKG from November 9, shows the patient to be in a normal sinus rhythm with a rate of 55 beats per minute. At that time she had a left axis deviation. However, her previous EKG's in the emergency department all show this right axis, so there is no significant abnormality that is new in the EKG today.…

    Patients who will experience little benefit from coronary revascularization are also excluded. CABG is performed in elderly patients for symptomatic relief. However, although age is not a contraindication, CABG is less commonly performed in this group of patients. Because elderly patients have a shorter life expectancy, CABG may not necessarily prolong survival. These patients are also more likely to experience perioperative complications after CABG (2).…

    HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. Barua is a 42 year old from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClain of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the resent onset of hemoptysis. He was treated for TB in Bangladesh 15 years ago. This has prompted the concern of whether his treatment for TB was adequate or whether there is another cause for his hemoptysis. The duration of his TB treatment was apparently adequate, according to his wife. But no records are available. In addition, the patient had thrombosis of the auxiliary artery treated last year at Hill Crest. He had an embolectomy and has been on Coumadin since. INR is significantly elevated at 16. Nonetheless, because of the cavitary lesions that are seen in the right and left upper lobes, the possibility of TB has been raised. Ancillary history was given by the patients wife Nepor, with the patient translating for her from the Hindu language.…
