A 33-year-old young male patient with a history of uncontrolled hypertension was referred to my clinic due to a 2-week fever, generalized body aches, shortness of breath, and easy fatigue. Clinical examination showed a toxic dyspneic patient, but conscious and well-oriented. His blood pressure was 170/100 mm Hg, pulse 90 beat/min, respiratory rate 15/min, and the temperature was 38.6°C. Cardiac examination showed a harsh systolic murmur at the mitral area radiating to the axilla. Abdomen examination revealed moderate splenomegaly and mild hepatomegaly. The rest of the examination was unremarkable.
