87-Year-Old Male with Aortic Stenosis
Roger is 87 and in relatively good health except for progressing heart failure (LVEF 30%). A recent physical exam revealed a low-intensity carotid pulse and an abnormal heart murmur — suggestive of aortic stenosis. An echocardiogram confirmed a calcified aortic valve.
His aortic stenosis could be a...
