The plan was for the patient to get an event monitor for new Afib and f/u with cardiology within a month. No anticoagulation due to CHADs-VASc being 0.    Patient was admitted 01/30 for persistent hypoxia and altered mentation. Patient found to have new LLL opacity with Pseudomonas bacteremia (pan sensitive).
