Abstract:
We report a case of cardiac beriberi in a 76-year-old man who was hospitalized with a congestive condition of subacute onset, diagnosed as high-output heart failure associated with severe tricuspid regurgitation and indication for caval valve implantation, which, after thiamine replacement, resulted in improvement of all conditions. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Imbalances in Cardiac Output
CHF can occur due to the failure of either side of the heart. Left-side failure leads to pulmonary congestion—the right side continues to send...
Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
