Dr. Trina Augustin, assistant professor of both anesthesiology and perioperative medicine as well as emergency medicine takes us on a deep dive into the care of persons with aortic stenosis. In this chapter, Alex and Venk learn about how to use ultrasound to diagnose AS, the keys to resuscitation, the pathophysiology of this condition, as well as the value of consultative services and the potential interventions that they may unlock for these patients. Kickoff season 4 with this in depth reminder that sometimes the heart has many hidden perils beyond ACS.
