Findings:  Median sternotomy and CABG.  Stable cardiomegaly.  No focal consolidations or pulmonary edema.  No pneumothorax identified. Impression: Cardiomegaly without failure.  CT head /brain without contrast performed February 3, 2022. Findings:  Moderate diffuse atrophy.  Mild changes of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.  No midline shift or mass effect.  No hydrocephalus.  No intracranial masses are identified within the limits of a noncontrast CT.  No intracranial hemorrhage.  No extra-axial fluid.  No CT evidence of an acute infarct.  The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are essentially clear. Impression:  1.  No acute intracranial abnormalities.  2. Moderate diffuse atrophy 3. Mild changes of chronic small vessel ischemic disease  Right upper quadrant ultrasound  performed  February 4, 2022. Findings:  Liver:  Normal.  No masses identified on the provided images.  Main portal vein is intact.  Gallbladder: Cholecystectomy.  Common bile duct:  Common bile duct diameter is mildly dilated up to 1.2 cm, stable and likely secondary to prior cholecystectomy.  No visualized choledocholithiasis.  Pancreas:  Pancreas not well visualized secondary to overlying bowel gas.  Right kidney: Normal.  No hydronephrosis.  No nephrolithiasis or masses identified within the limits of the ultrasound.  Aorta: Proximal abdominal aorta not well visualized.  The distal abdominal aorta is normal in caliber. Impression:  1. Pancreas not well visualized secondary to overlying bowel gas.  2. Cholecystectomy.  3. Common bile duct diameter is mildly dilated up to 1.2cm, stable and likely secondary to prior cholecystectomy.  No visualized choledocholithiasis.  Echocardiogram performed February 4, 2022. Conclusions:  Normal left ventricular systolic function with LV EF greater than 60%.  Moderate left ventricular hypertrophy ( measuring 1.4-1.7 cm).  Normal left ventricular diastolic function for age as measured by tissue Doppler/ mitral Doppler indices.  Mild left atrial enlargement which is consistent with LA index volumes between 35-41 centimeters squared.  Aortic cusps appear mildly calcified.  Trileaflet aortic valve.  Small thick pericardial effusion.  No echocardiographic evidence to suggest pericardial tamponade.

Hospital Course The patient is a 72-year-old male who presented to the emergency department on February 3rd due to symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that had been going on for around a week. Of note he had tested positive for COVID on January 26 of 2022. While in the emergency room, it was discovered that he was hypertensive up into the 210 systolic. He admit to a headache in addition to the nausea. He was admitted for further treatment for his hypertension, as well as monitoring of his elevated liver enzymes. While he was COVID positive, he did not require any supplemental oxygen and is having minimal respiratory symptoms admission.  He was started on a clonidine patch in hopes of improving his blood pressure. He also had access to as needed IV medication if his hypertension became worse. The day after admission he was started on his home medications for blood pressure. He was also noted that he took prednisone daily at home and this was increased to a stress dose. While he is in the hospital, his glucose levels were elevated in part due to the increase of his steroid. He was started on long-acting insulin as well as sliding scale insulin and both of these were slowly increased during his hospitalization.  Workup of his elevated liver enzymes included a right upper quadrant ultrasound as well as laboratory studies. No fatty infiltration of his liver was noted by radiology. Hepatitis panel and alpha 1 anti trypsin are still pending at time of discharge. His liver enzymes did steadily improve during his hospitalization.  On the day of discharge, his blood pressures had improved and his symptoms had resolved he was eager to go home. On discharge, he was instructed that he can resume all of his home medications.
