Question Answered step-by-step can you make a case study similar to this example:cardiovascular disease in pregnancyA 25-year-old obese (Body Mass Index (BMI) 38) African-American G2P2 underwent an uncomplicated vaginal delivery 10 days ago. She presents to the urgent care clinic with complaints of fatigue and persistent cough since delivery. She is afebrile with blood pressure of 110/80 mm Hg, heart rate 110 bpm and respiratory rate of 28/minute. Chest X-ray reveals bilateral infiltrates. Oxygen saturation is 94% on room air. The patient is diagnosed with a respiratory infection. Fatigue is attributed to the lack of sleep due to care of the newborn. She is prescribed an antibiotic and sent home. One week later, she presents again with continued symptoms. Antibiotics are switched at this time, and beta agonists are added due to presumptive diagnosis of “new-onset asthma” as evidenced by physical examination findings. Two days later, the patient experiences cardiac arrest at home. Resuscitation attempts are unsuccessful. Autopsy findings were indicative of cardiomyopathy.
