She is 29 now and her cardiologist, Dr. Irma Wu, advised her replacement of the mitral valve. According to her doctor, after the valve replacement, she would require life-long blood thinners.
Using your knowledge of physiology, explain how can clot formation be prevented prophylactically?
Knowing ECG. Do you think you can predict atrial enlargement from ECG? Why or why not? Support your answer with reasoning.
