  • Ep 170 – Aortic stenosis
    Aortic stenosis (AS) is an obstruction of blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta due to narrowing at the level of the aortic valve. In Europe, it is the most common valvular disease requiring treatment and is the second most frequent cause for cardiac surgery. By the age of 80, it occurs in almost 10% of adults and has a mortality rate of about 50% at 2 years unless the outflow obstruction is relieved. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment options and prognosis associated with this common condition usually seen in our elderly patients.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/cardiovascular-medicine/ep-170-aortic-stenosis.Did you know?

  • Ep 168 – Ectopic pregnancy
    In the UK, ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed in approximately 11 out of every 1,000 pregnancies and typically presents 6–8 weeks after the last normal menstrual period but can be earlier or later. The risk of ectopic pregnancy increases with prior ectopic pregnancy, tubal surgery, history of sexually transmitted infections, smoking, in vitro fertilisation or if the woman is pregnant despite intrauterine device usage. Classical symptoms and signs of ectopic pregnancy are pain, vaginal bleeding and amenorrhoea. Haemodynamic instability and cervical motion tenderness may indicate rupture or imminent rupture of an ectopic pregnancy. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson gives an overview of how to accurately diagnose an ectopic pregnancy, the management pathway involved and the risks of recurrence.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/gynaecology/ep-168-ectopic-pregnancy.Did you know?
