After ~1.5 years of waiting, our meta-analysis on TAVR vs SAVR is finally out!
Grateful for Dr.

Controversial, but newer RCTs continue to support TAVR perhaps 2/2 imp of devices/methods!

Points to check in hx and ph/e:
-How patient describes the pain
-What setting the pain started in: rest or exertion
-How much exertion brought the pain (few steps or miles of exertion)
-Pain pattern during the time it happened (constant or intermittent, same intensity or changed)

4️⃣Always check Urine and serum osmolality and urine lytes.
Urine osmolality is a surrogate for ADH activity.
Important to check before administration of any fluids.

1️⃣Blood gas is more accurate than BMP in cases of pseudo hyponatremia. This is due to error in measuring Na level when we have increase in TG or proteins in the serum calculated as a whole when the machine calculates the BMP. This is not the case in blood gas test.

When patient has rest pain, the reason is decrease in o2 supply (causing demand supply mismatch). Therefore this was a plaque rupture or vasospasm that blocked the coronary artery most probably as the exertion is not there to increase demand.

2️⃣Check LFTs, this can show abnormalities in cirrhosis. Also, if we have excess amount of immunoglubulins as seen by a protein gap (increased total protein more than 4 gr compared to albumin) this could cause false hyponatremia
