Tamale Teaching Hospital: P.O Box TL 16 Tamale, Ghana

The patient, a 77-year-old man, presented to the emergency room with shortness of breath, easy fatigability, dizziness and chest pain. Medical history revealed hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy and a recent presentation of congestive heart failure. Physical examination and diagnostic tests showed pneumonia, ischemic cardiomyopathy, reduced ejection fraction and elevated troponin levels, likely due to an underlying infection exacerbating congestive heart failure. The patient was admitted for treatment of pneumonia and worsening of his cardiac conditions.
