She was on hydrochlorothiazide but that caused increased creatinine.  Hydralazine added     Resolved Hospital Problems No resolved problems to display.     Discharge Disposition:  Home   Medications, instructions, follow up information: See patient Discharge Instructions/AVS.   Hospital Course and Significant Findings: Patient is an 85 year old female with a history of CKD and HTN who presented with SOB and elevated BNP with CXR showing pulmonary edema, COVID positive and labs showing an elevated BNP and troponin in the setting of SBP very elevated at home and above 200 in ER.  She was admitted and treated with IV lasix and COVID isolation.  The following day her Cr had gone up, BP improved but still elevated and no signs of volume overload on exam.  Lasix and lisinopril stopped and 750ml of IVF provided.  An ECHO from 9/29 shows EF 40-45%, normal RV, mildly dilated LA and IVC with over 50% collapse.  The case was reviewed with cardiology who recommended cardiology follow up and outpatient stress test.  Hydralazine was increased from 20 to 50mg to provide better BP control.  Cr improved on 9/30 so valsartan 40mg was started with plans to eventually transition to Entresto.  BP was much better at the time of discharge but still elevated.  Presentation felt to be HTN urgency not CHF exacerbation.   In terms of COVID, she was not hypoxic and despite a mild cough was asymptomatic.  She will need to maintain COVID isolation at discharge but no treatment was provided/prescribed while in the hospital or at discharge.
