Summary
A 28-year-old primigravida at 27 weeks’ gestation is referred by her primary care provider to your tertiary center’s high-risk obstetrics unit with a four-week history of worsening exertional dyspnea, marked fatigue with limited daily activities, and a recent syncopal episode, witnessed by her husband. She describes palpitations immediately prior to this brief event. She is asymptomatic at rest and has not experienced chest pain. Her medical history appears non-contributory, and although she practices healthy social habits, she has long-standing exercise intolerance in the non pregnant state with breathlessness after running a few meters.
