To the Editor, We present the case of a 65-year-old woman without any known drug allergies and with a previous cardiac history of atrial fibrillation treated with warfarin and rheumatic poly-valve disease with double mitral valve lesion (severe mitral stenosis and moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation) and severe tricuspid regurgitation with indirect data of pulmonary hypertension admitted due to progressive worsening of her usual dyspnea until becoming dyspnea of minimal exertion and with important limitations in activities of daily living.
