I was confused why diastolic filling time wouldn't be correct. Hx of Mitral stenosis should mean that it takes longer for her left ventricle to fill up, right, so increased diastolic filling time?

ronabobonafofonaI also thought this. But I knew for sure that Pulmonary artery pressure would go up, so I just went with what I was sure of.+2020-08-03T03:06:44Z
She is the classic demographic for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Slowly progressive disease. The PE findings support it
medicalmikeThis patient's mitral opening snap and diastolic murmur are due to her mitral stenosis. Long-standing MS leads to elevated left atrial pressures which transmit to the pulmonary artery -> secondary pulmonary hypertension (not primary idiopathic PAH)+62020-06-19T00:04:46Z
ronabobonafofonaNo worries @sugaplum. You've been right on for 99% of the other qs.+2020-08-03T03:07:19Z
