Macroscopic T Wave Alternans in a Patient with Rheumatic Heart Disease

A middle-aged lady in her late forties and a known case of rheumatic heart disease presented with acute decompensated heart failure. On admission, she was found to have atrial fibrillation with fast ventricular rate. She was initially managed with mechanical ventilation, diuretics, and parenteral am...
