This the messege i have in my mind

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.

can someone please help with this. Any ideas?

the explanation should include how colon plays an important role in contributing to the hyperkalemia. constipation meaning the "poop feels stuck" so additional absorption wouldn't take place

she did not have to acquire new skills after her injury and lack of adaptation would cause weakness in left leg

i'm confused between the two hemoglobin affinity options. why would tissue hypoxia not cause peripheral cyanosis

did not hear about this disease before, must review
