Blood pressure is 88/54 mmHg, heart rate is 52 bpm, and clear lung fields are noted on auscultation. What is the most appropriate next step in management?

Cardiac auscultation reveals a harsh, late-peaking systolic ejection murmur at the right upper sternal border radiating to the carotids, with a diminished and delayed carotid pulse (pulsus parvus et tardus). Echocardiography shows a mean aortic valve gradient of 48 mmHg, peak velocity of 4.3 m/s, and aortic valve area of 0.7 cm². What is the definitive treatment?
Correct Answer:
Aortic valve replacement (Surgical AVR or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation - TAVI) evaluated by the Heart Team
Question 5
A 62-year-old male with a 40 pack-year smoking history is evaluated for chronic dyspnea and cough. Post-bronchodilator spirometry demonstrates an FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.58 and an FEV1 of 52% of predicted. Over the past 12 months, he experienced two severe COPD exacerbations requiring hospitalization. His peripheral blood eosinophil count is 350 cells/µL. According to GOLD 2024/2026 guidelines, which maintenance inhaler regimen is most appropriate?
Correct Answer:
Triple therapy: Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA) + Long-Acting Beta2-Agonist (LABA) + Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS)
