Cardiovascular: Regular rate and rhythm without gallop or rub. Murmur appreciated. No edema present in the lower extremities. Radial and dorsal pedal pulses intact 2+ bilaterally.  Respiratory: Lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally, no wheezing, no rhonchi, no rales. No accessory muscle use, no respiratory distress. Patient is currently on room air.  Gastrointestinal: Abdomen soft, non-tender. No rebound or guarding. No distension. No ascites. No organomegaly.  Psychiatric: Patient responds appropriately to questions and displays normal affect. Appears to have good judgment.  Hospital Course Patient is a 77 year old female who presented to the hospital increased weakness and was found on presentation to the emergency department to be in atrial fibrillation with RVR. The patient was started on a Cardizem drip with additional metoprolol for further rate reduction. She has not been taking her home medications prior to admission due to her COVID-19 infection. She remained stable on room air during her hospitalization. Her pacemaker was interrogated as she had previously had it put in for sick sinus syndrome. Interrogation of the pacemaker revealed that the patient had several episodes of atrial fibrillation from the end of June to presentation at the hospital. Patient did not have a previous history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. She was able to be titrated off of the Cardizem drip and remained at an adequate heart rate on her home metoprolol. I calculated the patient's CHADS2 Vasc score as well as her HASBLED score and discussed the results with the patient. Based on the results, the patient was started on Eliquis with shared decision making. On day of discharge I removed the patient's central venous line.  The patient was leaned back as far as she could tolerate, was instructed to hold her breath as the line was removed, and had the site covered immediately with an occlusive dressing. Firm pressure was held to the site for 5 minutes and the patient was instructed to remain in a laying position for a total of 30 minutes after the central venous line was removed. The patient tolerated the procedure well without complication.

Her risk is 3.4%. Her CHA2DS2VASc score is 4 points indicating a stroke risk of 4.8% per year and 6.7% risk of stroke/TIA/systemic embolism. She is at moderate-high risk. We will start her on apixaban at 5 mg BID for stroke prophylaxis given her paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The patient has not had recent falls or history of major bleeding events. - Recommend evaluation of the patient's blood pressure medication given her lower extremity edema that resolved previously when her amlodipine had been held. - Patient wishes to see Dr. for her cardiology care as it will be easier for her to get to these appointments. - Patient has an appointment scheduled with Dr. at 10 am on 7/20/22.
