Clinical narrative: Date of Admission  01/25/2022   Date of Discharge  01/28/2022   Reason for Hospitalization   Pt to ED for nonproductive cough and SOB x6 days.  Hospital Course   Patient is a 69 year old female with medical history of hypertension, concentric LVH with dynamic LVOT gradient, hypothyroidism who presents to the emergency department with cough and shortness of breath of 1 week duration. She was noted to be COVID positive 1/25. She also had signs of heart failure exacerbation on admission with CXR revealing bilateral interstitial edema and cardiomegaly. She was in AHRF requiring bipap. She received IV Lasix and initially was placed on a nitroglycerin drip. She responded very well to Lasix diuresis and was weened down to room air with improved feelings of dyspnea and improved functional status. A TTE was obtained revealing EF 55%, no regional wall motion abnormalities, severe LVH with apical sparing concerning for cardiac amyloidosis. A cardiac MRI was completed to further evaluate this amyloidosis, results are pending at the time of discharge. The patient was instructed to follow up in cardiology clinic for further management of possible cardiac amyloidosis. Otherwise she was transitioned to PO Lasix 40 mg daily, which she will continue at discharge. For her COVID, she was given PRN benzonatate for cough and acetaminophen for myalgias. Held off on starting high intensity statin in the setting of myalgias, consider in the outpatient setting. Follow up with cardiology and PCP.
