Which of the following vitamin deficiencies is most likely associated with such a clinical presentation?? A: Vitamin B12, B: Thiamine, C: Niacin, D: Vitamin D, E: Riboflavin,  <response>: This is a clinical vignette describing a patient with signs and symptoms of high-output heart failure and vitamin deficiency. The key findings are high-output failure, tachycardia, bounding pulse, warm extremities, and vitamin deficiency in an alcoholic patient. This presentation is most consistent with beriberi, which is caused by thiamine vitamin B1 deficiency. Thiamine deficiency is common in alcoholics due to poor nutrition. Lack of thiamine leads to impaired carbohydrate metabolism and buildup of pyruvate, causing a hyperdynamic circulatory state with high cardiac output, bounding pulse, and vasodilation leading to warm extremities. The tachycardia is compensation for the low systemic vascular resistance. Vitamin B12 deficiency would cause megaloblastic anemia but not this cardiovascular presentation. Niacin, vitamin D, and riboflavin deficiencies do not cause high-output heart failure.B: Thiamine
