Transthoracic Echo 01/06/23 "Conclusions Normal left ventricular systolic function with LVEF >60%. Restrictive physiology with markedly elevated left atrial pressure (Grade III diastolic dysfunction). Severe left atrial enlargement with LA index volumes greater than 48 cm2. Severe mitral regurgitation. Aortic cusps appear mildly calcified. Trileaflet aortic valve. Mild aortic regurgitation. There is mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation. The estimated Peak RVSP is 43 mmHg."    Chest radiograph 01/05/2022: "IMPRESSION: Bilateral lung opacities. Consider infectious or inflammatory etiology.

He appears in no acute distress and resting comfortably in bed.  EYES: Pupils are equally round bilaterally with no ocular discharge, scleral icterus, or conjunctival injection noted.  CARDIOVASCULAR: Heart rate is irregularly irregular and rate is controlled in the 80's bmp while on telemetry. No murmurs appreciated on auscultation. No peripheral edema noted either. Radial pulses are 2+ bilaterally.  RESPIRATORY: Patient is wearing supplemental oxygen set at 4 L with SpO2 of 98%. There is no increased work of breathing or conversational dyspnea noted. Lung sounds are clear bilaterally and equal bilaterally. No wheezing noted on auscultation.  GASTROINTESTINAL: Abdomen is soft, nontender, and nondistended. Bowel sounds normoactive.  PSYCHIATRIC: Patient is awake and alert and oriented to person, place, and time. He is calm and cooperative. Mood and affect are also appropriate.  Consultations Dr Cardiology  Hospital Course Patient is a 77-year-old male with a past medical history significant for COPD on supplemental oxygen, chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, atrial fibrillation, malignant tumor of the pharynx in 2012 status-post radiation/chemotherapy and PEG tube placement, and hypothyroidism. He presented to the emergency department on 01/05/2023 with complaints of worsening shortness of breath. He admitted for treatment and evaluation of COVID, COPD exacerbation, and atrial fibrillation. His total hospitalization was 6 days.   Patient was noted to be in Afib RVR on admission and on 1/7/23 patient was cardioverted an initially successfully converted back to sinus rhythm. Over the weekend patient was noted to have gone back into RVR and on 1/9/2023 patient was cardioverted again, but without successful conversion, unfortunately. Dr. also started the patient on diltiazem and midodrine with resultant rate c  Condition at Discharge Stable  Discharge Medications aspirin 81 mg capsule 81 MG PEG TUBE ONCE A DAY Breztri Aerosphere Inhalation Aerosol 160-9-4.8 MCG/ACT 2 PUF INHALATION TWICE DAILY Cefdinir Oral Capsule 300 MG 300 MG ORALLY TWICE DAILY (ePrescribed by RESIDENT on Jan-10-2023 1003) diltiaZEM HCL (IR) 60 MG PEG TUBE 3 TIMES A DAY (ePrescribed by RESIDENT on Jan-10-2023 1003) EMPAGLIFLOZIN 10 MG PEG TUBE ONCE A DAY (ePrescribed by RESIDENT on Jan-10-2023 1003) famotidine 20 mg tablet 20 MG PEG TUBE TWICE DAILY levothyroxine 112 mcg capsule 112 MCG PEG TUBE EVERY MORNING lisinopril 2.5 mg tablet 2.5 MG PEG TUBE ONCE A DAY metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet 25 MG PEG TUBE TWICE DAILY MIDODRINE HCL 5 MG PEG TUBE TWICE DAILY (ePrescribed by RESIDENT on Jan-10-2023 1003) Xarelto 15 mg tablet 15 MG PEG TUBE ONCE A DAY Discharge Disposition Discharge to home  Plan ASSESSMENT: -Sepsis (tachycardia, tachypnea) secondary to COVID-19 pneumonia, resolved -Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate, s/p Cardioversion x2.
