CT head and brain dated 05/25/2022 shows no acute intracranial abnormalities, mild changes of chronic small vessel ischemic disease, right maxillary sinusitis mild.  CT chest with contrast dated 05/25/2022 shows no evidence for mediastinal mass or pathologic lymphadenopathy, bibasilar sub segmental active sees are noted, possible right upper lobe ground-glass airspace opacities, granulomatous disease. The evaluation was limited secondary to the patient's body habitus and motion artifacts.  Venous Doppler of the lower extremities dated 05/25/2022 shows stable chronic DVT in the left superficial femoral vein proximal to distal.  Echocardiogram dated 05/26/2022 shows mild left ventricular chamber enlargement with inferior lateral hypokinesis left ventricular ejection fraction 45-50%. Mild my role regurgitation with left atrial enlargement. Mild tricuspid regurgitation. Aortic valve sclerosis. Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction.  Chest x-ray dated 05/27/2022 shows stable cardiomegaly. Mild bibasilar atelectasis. Small right lung pulmonary opacities. No pneumothorax.

Cardiovascular: Regular rhythm. Bradycardic heart rate. No murmurs, rubs or gallops. No lower extremity edema. Radial and dorsal pedal pulses +2 bilaterally.  Respiratory: Lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally but ability to fully appreciate lung sounds is limited due to the disposable stethoscope. Respiratory effort is non-labored. She is currently on 2L via nasal cannula.  Gastrointestinal: Abdomen is soft, obese, nontender and nondistended. No rebound or guarding. No ascites.  Psychiatric: Patient responds to questions appropriately and displays a normal affect. She is pleasant and interactive.  Hospital Course Patient is a 71 year old female who presented to the hospital with sepsis due to a urinary tract infection as well as acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 requiring more than her baseline 2L supplemental oxygen HS. She was started on remdesivir due to her hypoxia as well as dexamethasone. During her hospitalization she was found to have an acute cardiac event elevating her troponin and causing wall motion abnormalities seen on echocardiogram. Her troponin was 4307. She also experienced an episode of atrial fibrillation with RVR. Cardiology was consulted in the care of the patient. She underwent cardiac catheterization which did not find CAD causing the cardiac strain but rather a likely viral myocarditis. She was titrated to her baseline oxygen at rest with 2-3L PRN while ambulating. She was started on entresto, coreg, and aldactone for her heart failure. An additional complication during the patient's hospitalization that was encountered was that her heart rate was bradycardic with rates in the 30's and 40's. The patient remained asymptomatic during these episodes. This has not completely resolved resulting in the need for a holter monitor outpatient with close cardiology follow up. The patient has continued to improve and has been deemed stable for discharge both clinically and biochemically.

PT for home health will be ordered. - Resume cardiac diet. - Patient will be discharged with a holter monitor for 7 days to monitor patient's bradycardia. - She will be continued on entresto and aldactone outpatient. Her coreg dose has been decreased to 3.125 mg BID given her significant bradycardia. - Her levothyroxine has been discontinued but her NP thyroid has been continued. She will require follow up evaluation of her thyroid function as she was hyperthyroid on her previous medication regimen. - She is to hold her metformin at this time until she has a BMP at the beginning of next week to ensure this does not impair her renal function. - Continue supplemental oxygen 2L at night and 2-3L with ambulation as needed. - Follow up with Dr. (PCP) in 5-7 days. - Follow up with Dr. after discharge.
