About this document

Pathophysiology of Myocardial Hypoxia by Thara Pitaloka Vreundschap is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Mr. A, a 35-year-old man playing soccer became exhausted. He has a BMI of 39.5 kg/m2, smokes, and has high LDL and low HDL due to obesity, smoking, and an energy imbalance where his energy input exceeded his energy output. This led to atherosclerosis, decreased cardiac output, and eventually a syncopal episode during soccer from impaired cerebral perfusion.
