I would suggest switching the Isosorbide mononitrate to Isordil 10 mg three times daily.  Potentially, Jardiance could be added subsequently. Toprol may be continued and increased as tolerated up to 100 mg daily. 10/26/22 ECHO ?  Left Ventricle: Left ventricle is moderately dilated.

Hospital Course and Significant Findings:   Pt is 84 y/o female with hx of severe HFrEF (LVEF <20% per cardiac echo 10/2022) s/p AICD, coronary artery disease, asthma, chronic respiratory failure (has home 02 as needed), asthma, hypertension, hypertensive chronic kidney disease stage 4 (baseline Cr 1.6s-1.8s)   Onset of symptoms ~ 10/16/2023: generalized weakness with mild cough. Sick contact son (who lives with patient.) Tested Covid19 (+) on 10/18/2023 in the ED. Chest x-ray +bibasilar patchy opacities and mild central pulmonary vascular congestion.  BNP 1,058. 02sat 89% at room air and placed on 2LNC.   Admitted for acute on chronic respiratory failure due to Covid19 and some component of acute on chronic HFrEF decompensation.   Started on Remdesivir and Decadron 10/18 - 10/21/2023 & IV lasix.    Generalized weakness has improved and PT recommended home health. Good appetite.

Repeated chest x-ray negative for pleural effusion or infiltrate.   Pt is discharged and quarantine x 10 days through 10/25/2023.   She was slightly prerenal on IV Lasix - her BUN trended up from 30s to 60s and Cr 1.9s (upper range of her baseline Cr.) Would hold Lasix on 10/22/2023 and recheck chem7 in about 3 days.   Refer to home health RN/PT.     Of note, during this admission, palliative care updated POLST to DNR.    Updated pt's daughter over the phone.     ASSESSMENT AND PLANS   1.
