Constructive pericarditis
Constructive pericarditis
If no Kussmaul sign, unlikely constrictive pericarditis or cardiac tamponade( absence of muffled heart sounds also rules this out).
No forward symptoms, thus rules out aortic stenosis.
Being an acute condition rules out MVP as MVP in a chronic setting can progress to Right heart failure symptoms.
But here it's an acute presentation, so most probably acute post-MI Right ventricular failure.

Why is the answer not prolactin levels?
Why is the answer not prolactin levels?
they mentioned normal limits of RBC and glucose. testosterone induces erythropoiesis and decrease in it would decrease the RBCs too
