Title
Exercise-Induced Dyspnea in an Older Woman With a History of Coronary Artery Disease
Link
Description
A woman in her mid-70s with a medical history of coronary artery disease (CAD) and left anterior descending artery stenting complained of unexplained dyspnea on exertion. An exercise transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) was conducted by the referring cardiologist as part of the CAD follow-up, which resulted in an end-test uncontrollable cough with acute dyspnea. Coronary angiography was performed and showed no evidence of ischemic progression. Subsequent pulmonary evaluations, including respiratory functional assessments, walking tests, and thoracic computed tomography scans, yielded normal results.
