QuestionSBA
QuestionChoice
Aortic stenosis has a classic triad of symptoms - heart failure, syncope and angina. The patient may also have exertional dyspnoea and a slow rising pulse, narrow pulse pressure and ejection systolic murmur may be present.

a
Aortic stenosis
QuestionChoice
This is an impaired opening of the mitral valve. The most common cause is rheumatic heart disease and it can present with exertional dyspnoea and reduced exercise tolerance.

e
Mitral stenosis
QuestionChoice
This is the backflow of blood into the left atrium and can present differently in acute vs chronic cases. Acute cases can present with sudden collapse, pulmonary oedema and sweating whilst chronic cases may present with exertional dyspnoea, orthopnoea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea. A Corrigan's pulse may be felt on examination and an early diastolic murmur will be heard.

c
Aortic regurgitation
QuestionChoice
Patients with atrial flutter may present with symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness or chest pain. The patient may also be asymptomatic. On ECG, a saw-tooth pattern is seen with narrow QRS complexes and a heart rate > 300 bpm.

b

QuestionChoice
This is the backflow of blood across the mitral valve. It may present with dyspnoea, fatigue and weakness in acute cases or may be asymptomatic in chronic cases.

A 47-year-old male presents to his GP after experiencing multiple episodes of syncope recently. He has a past medical history of angina. On examination, an ejection systolic murmur is heard. An ECG is performed which shows increased QRS complex voltages.

Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
