@SeeFisch This is Aortic stenosis. The stroke volume is significantly reduced & the left ventricular pressure is very high during & after the iso-volumetric contraction phase which indicates that the heart is trying to pump against a stenotic valve.

When there’s a shunt (V/Q=0) in a portion of the lung leading to hypoxemia,100% oxygen will likely not correct the hypoxemia because the remaining alveoli that are being ventilated are maxed out & cannot extract more oxygen from the air. #MedTwitter #Step1

Low levels of Mg increases PTH release via feedback pathways increasing Calcium levels UNTIL the levels of Mg fall below 1mEq,now it can possibly cause hypocalcemia because Mg itself is important for normal PTH receptors functioning.
