Patient reports that she has been progressively short of breath for the last 2 days.  She reports waking up yesterday morning feeling short of breath.  She currently has to sleep with 2 pillows propped up at night and feels significantly short of breath with laying flat.  She reports her shortness of breath is worse with exertion and relieved by rest.  Denies any lower extremity edema.  She denies any fevers chills or recent illness.  She takes her medications as prescribed.  She does also endorse chest pain that resolves with rest.  She is not currently having any chest pain.  She reports that the chest pain feels like when she had her episode of A-fib and was hospitalized in the ICU.  She does report intermittent palpitations although when she has checked her heart rate at home and has remained normal and usually tells her when it is irregular which has not done that. She also feels weak and has been having episodes of dizziness. The only change to her medications has been her amiodarone although when she saw her PCP he reported that she was post be taking several of her medications differently after her recent pacemaker procedure.  She did have a pacemaker placed on 11/3/2023.  She reports that the procedure was slightly complicated due to her dextrocardia.  They initially tried to going on the left side but had to move placement to the right side.  She reports that the surgical site is healing well without any drainage or discharge or pain.  She denies any nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea.  She is taking her torsemide as prescribed and is urinating frequently without any dysuria or changes in the color of her urine.  She takes her Eliquis for A-fib and is without any bleeding but frequently bruises.  She adheres to a low-salt diet and fluid restrictions.   On arrival to the ER initial blood pressure 167/79, afebrile heart rate 91 respiratory rate 22 saturating 98% on room air.  Hemoglobin of 10.4 baseline of appears to be around 10.5, creatinine of 1.47 of note baseline appears to be around 1.17, glucose 113 high-sensitivity troponin initially elevated to 55 increased to 69 and BNP 848 BNP checked in October was 551, UA unremarkable.  EKG with ventricular paced rhythm without any acute ST or T wave changes.  Chest x-ray with findings of prior sternotomy and dextrocardia with pacer leads in stable position.  Some streaky opacities in the left lung possible vascular crowding versus atelectasis with some vascular congestion.  Patient admitted to Hospital for further management.

Elevated troponin   R77.8   Patient with elevated troponin elevated at 55 increased to 69.  EKG without any acute findings but patient with worsening dyspnea, PND and orthopnea in light of elevated BNP with vascular congestion on chest x-ray.  Most likely elevated troponin secondary to demand due to CHF exacerbation as mentioned below. HEART score 6, TIMI score 4.   - Trend troponin to peak   - Telemetry monitoring   - TTE  - Keep K > 4 Mg > 2    2. CHF exacerbation   I50.9   Patient with elevated BNP, orthopnea and PND along with dyspnea with exertion and some vascular congestion on chest x-ray and AKI.  BNP 800. We will treat for mild CHF exacerbation and get a repeat echo.  Patient is on torsemide at home will start Bumex.   - Bumex 2 mg BID IV   - Strict I/O's; Daily weights   - Low salt diet, fluid restrictions     3. Chest pain   R07.9   Patient with intermittent atypical chest pain that is sometimes associated with exertion but also happens at rest.  We will continue to trend troponin.  EKG without any acute findings and patient is currently without chest pain.  Consider Lexiscan Monday.   - Consider Lexiscan Monday    4. Dyspnea   R06.00   Dyspnea most likely due to a combination of CHF exacerbation and A-fib.  We will continue with telemetry monitoring and diuresis as mentioned above.   5. Dizziness   R42   Patient with intermittent dizziness which is most likely multifactorial in nature due to above CHF and A-fib.  Continue with telemetry monitoring.   6.

Was supposed to undergo ablation along with pacemaker placement on 11/3/2023 but ablation was unable to be performed at that time.  We will continue with telemetry monitoring and continue with home anticoagulation.   18. Pulmonary HTN   I27.29   C/w home sildenafil.   19. S/P mitral valve repair   Z98.890   Had mitral valve repair in 2017.  We will follow-up with echo.   20. Supraventricular tachycardia   I47.10   History of SVT.
