A CASE OF HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION

MEDICINE CASE DISCUSSION 

This is an E-log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his guardian's signed informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patient problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence-based inputs. This e-log book also reflects my patient centered online learning portfolio and your valuable comments in comment box are most welcomed .

I have been given this case, in an attempt to solve and understand the topic of "Patient's clinical data analysis”. This has helped me develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history taking, clinical findings and investigations. The goal is to come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan.
