    And the incidence of clinical consequences of atherosclerosis such as ischemic heart disease rises with age, especially after the age of 40 (Chambless et al., 1997). It is much more common in men in comparison to women and the important risk factors that predispose towards atherosclerosis include smoking, hypertension, diabetes and high serum cholesterol. The patient is 56 years old, has elevated cholesterol and hypertension which he is on dietary therapy for, hence it is likely he has atheroma formation which is the pathological reason behind his angina pectoris. Most coronary heart diseases (CHD) are caused by atherosclerosis which are responsible for more than 73,000 deaths in the UK each year, about 1 in 6 men die from CHD (Nhs.uk, 2017). The patient has hyperlipidaemia which is anything above 5.0mmol/L and it is closely associate with cardiovascular diseases. There is evidence (Ross and Harker, 1976; Fazio, 2001) that strongly suggests that hyperlipidaemia increases the chances of developing progressive atherosclerosis and hence the chances of having a myocardial infarction, stroke and gangrene of the extremities (Ross, 1993). Myocardial infarction and stroke are possible fatal complications associated with atherosclerosis, as a piece of the thrombus can break off and travel to a smaller artery to block off blood flow to a part of the myocardium or…

    HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. Barua is a 42 year old from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClain of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the resent onset of hemoptysis. He was treated for TB in Bangladesh 15 years ago. This has prompted the concern of whether his treatment for TB was adequate or whether there is another cause for his hemoptysis. The duration of his TB treatment was apparently adequate, according to his wife. But no records are available. In addition, the patient had thrombosis of the auxiliary artery treated last year at Hill Crest. He had an embolectomy and has been on Coumadin since. INR is significantly elevated at 16. Nonetheless, because of the cavitary lesions that are seen in the right and left upper lobes, the possibility of TB has been raised. Ancillary history was given by the patients wife Nepor, with the patient translating for her from the Hindu language.…
