Case Report (n=1)
A case report detailing the clinical presentation of a 58-year-old woman with symptomatic severe calcific aortic stenosis.
Single case of classic symptomatic severe aortic stenosis does not alter practice; leaves open questions on atypical or demographic variants.
Presentation of Case First admission. A 58-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of aortic stenosis.At the age of 25 years she was informed of a heart murmur. She was well until six months before admission, when there was the onset of exertional chest pain that was relieved at rest. Easy fatigability developed and progressed in severity during the three months before entry. Six days before admission, while hurrying, she experienced pain in the chest and lost consciousness for 20 minutes. On admission to another hospital no evidence of myocardial infarction was found.
