ECG Challenge: Cardiac Abnormalities After Aortic Valve Replacement

January 21, 2020

A 56-year-old woman who underwent a recent aortic valve replacement for a stenotic bicuspid valve presents for routine post-operation follow-up with complaints of fatigue, chest discomfort unrelated to the sternal incision, shortness of breath, and peripheral edema. A 12-lead ECG is obtained, and the findings are in keeping with the physical examination and echocardiogram.
