Case 15 — Borderline rest study

Handover

Unexplained dyspnea. She cannot exercise — knees will not allow it. Rest PCWP 14, mPAP 22, CO 4.8. The protocol still has a 500 mL challenge on the sheet.

Untreated tamponade, massive PE, or a crashed CPO/PAPi will keep dropping MAP and climbing lactate. Name the tracing, then move.

Goals

  • · Fluid challenge done
  • · Occult HFpEF unmasked
