Clinical narrative: Date of Admission  01/12/2022   Date of Discharge  01/13/2022   Reason for Hospitalization   Afib with RVR, chest pain, COVID +  Hospital Course   Patient is a 63 yo female presenting to the ED with chest pain, found to be in Afib RVR. Recently diagnosed with COVID on 01/05. PMH: Atrial fibrillation (not on anticoagulation due to hx of bleeding), Hep C Cirrhosis complicated by ascites and varices, hx of variceal bleeding years ago (on Nadolol), hepatic encephalopathy, thrombocytopenia/pancytopenia (seen by heme/onc), subarachnoid hemorrhage (traumatic, while on anticoagulation, 2020), GERD, DM2 (currently not on meds), COPD (baseline 3 L), HTN, HFpEF, PAD, s/p sleeve gastrectomy (2020), CAD (CT coronary showed significant disease of the LAD and RCA with high calcium score), depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia.   Patient tested COVID-positive on 5 January, states that she was prescribed prednisone for 5 days and doxycycline for 7 days.  In the morning of admission she started having sudden onset substernal chest pain radiating to her throat/left-sided neck and her throat felt tight, she thought the chest pain was due to heartburn, however it kept getting worse so she decided to come to the ED. Pain started while she was watching TV, was burning in nature, constant. In the ED she still endorsed 6/10 chest pain, which improved after she converted to sinus rhythm while on Amiodarone gtt. Normal myocardial perfusion scan on 12/3/2021.   Upon presentation in the ED HR 150s-160s. EKG with Afib RVR and moderate ST depressions. Initial trop negative with minimal delta.  Received IV metoprolol pushes without resolution of RVR and with drop in BP. Started on Amio gtt and converted to sinus with improved chest pain and SOB. Labs in the ED notable for thrombocytopenia 40, neutropenia (mild, ANC 1300), normal hemoglobin, low Mg. Repeat EKG after conversion confirms sinus rhythm, ST/T changes not apparent. CTPE without PE, with findings of severe calcifications of the mitral valve. Scattered bilateral ground-glass and consolidative opacities consistent with patient's history of COVID 19. Bilateral interstitial opacities, suggestive of a superimposed mild interstitial pulmonary edema.   Amiodarone gtt discontinued, home Nadolol dose increased to 80 mg daily. Echo obtained with EF 60-65%. Posterior mitral leaflet calcified, no stenosis. Moderate LVH, severe LA dilation. Patient had further drop in ANC (570) and Platelets (29). No active bleeding. Touched base with heme/onc, no further work up at this time, ok to discharge. Close PCP f/u with labs. Peripheral smear pathology review ordered and pending. Patient instructed to avoid taking Aspirin. Instructed to come to the ED if any bleeding, fever, chills, worsening SOB.  Discharge Diagnoses      1.

Code Status. Code Status Description: Full Code     Addendum by (privacy) on January 13, 2022 13:03:09 (Verified)    I personally saw and evaluated the patient, independently performed the critical/key portions of the E/M service, and discussed the management with the resident/fellow on 1.13.2022. Chest pain likely due to pulmonary infection with pleuritic nature. Also reports chest palpitations with pulsatile feeling in L lower jaw when in afib. Given recent negative stress test and normal EF and wall motion by echo, not concerning for symptoms being from ischemia. May benefit from higher dose of nadolol during acute illness to prevent afib recurrence and may be able to go back to prior dose once she is recovered.
