A 76-year-old man with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and exertional dyspnea. Is it just deconditioning, or is it something more?

In this enlightening episode of Case by Case, our expert panel tackles a classic presentation that hides a commonly underdiagnosed condition: HFpEF (Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction).

Join us as we walk through the diagnostic process using BNP, NT-proBNP, echo findings, and the H2FPEF score, and consider cutting-edge therapy choices backed by recent evidence, including SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 RAs like tirzepatide. https://bit.ly/44VGg8m

Obesity is not a lifestyle choice — it's a chronic disease.
Dr. Marc-Andre Cornier emphasized in today’s CME session that successful treatment of obesity requires the same rigor as managing hypertension or diabetes.

Here are some key clinical pearls:
✔️ Recognize obesity as a chronic relapsing disease
✔️ Set realistic, individualized goals
✔️ Combine lifestyle therapy with pharmacotherapy or bariatric surgery when indicated
✔️ Long-term follow-up is essential for weight maintenance

Clinical Insight: “A 5-10% reduction in weight can improve metabolic parameters and reduce cardiovascular risk.”

Target the disease, not just the behavior. It’s time to rethink how we manage obesity in primary care.

Syncope: Not always benign. Dr. Robert Dachs delivered a must-see update this morning on red-flag EKGs, high-risk patients, and what really matters in the workup.

Clinical Pearls:
✔ EKG is the required test
✔ CHF + syncope = 🚨
✔ Bifascicular block + syncope = admit

Use sniper diagnostics, not shotgun workups.

Thank you Dr. Dachs for the pearls that could save a life.

When Vertigo Strikes!

This morning, Dr. George Higgins delivered a masterclass on distinguishing central vs. peripheral vertigo.

✅ Use bedside HINTS (Head Impulse, Nystagmus, Skew)
✅ BPPV? Dix-Hallpike then Epley or Semont
✅ Vertical/bidirectional nystagmus = 🚨 central
✅ MRI > CT when neuroimaging is indicated

Vertigo ≠ simple dizziness. It’s a diagnostic crossroads.

Like chest pain, a focused history and physical can identify high-risk patients.
