Patient is sitting in wheelchair washing his hair.  CARDIOVASCULAR: Heart has regular rate and rhythm, no edema noted. RESPIRATORY: Patient is on room air. Lungs clear to auscultation throughout. Respiratory effort is non-labored, no use of accessory muscles noted. Patient is non-cyanotic appearing. GASTROINTESTINAL: Abdomen is soft, nontender, and nondistended. Bowel sounds normoactive. NEUROLOGICAL: Patient is alert and oriented to person, place, time, and situation. PSYCHIATRIC: Patient's is calm, cooperative, affect is appropriate.  Consultations Cardiology  Hospital Course Pt. is a 81-year-old male with a medical history of diastolic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypothyroidism, coronary arterial disease, sleep apnea and chronic kidney disease. He arrived at the emergency department with profound weakness, that had been worsening for 3 days and erythema and edema on the anterior aspect of the left lower limb in the setting of COVID-19. Patient was admitted to inpatient under internal medicine with the incidental finding of elevated troponins in the absence of chest pains along with profound bradycardia/junctional rhythm with prolonged QTc and an extensive cardiac history. On admission, patient was found to have hypomagnesemia which was treated with magnesium sulfate and resolved as well as hypocalcemia resolved without intervention. Dr was consulted and ordered cardiac echo and cardiac stress test to evaluate heart failure. Patient was treated with Lasix 40mg with resolution of lower limb edema. X-ray of left tib-fib and doppler ordered to rule out underlying pathology were unremarkable. Per echocardiogram, patient was found to have chronic heart failure with preserved ejection, grade I diastolic dysfunction with LV ventricular ejection fraction >60%. Patients home medications of amiodarone and zoloft were held due to QTc prolongation. Home Apixiban was held, heparin 5000 unit Q8h was started for DVT prophylaxis. A single transient instance of oxygen desaturation to 92% occurred during sleep on the first night inpatient, resolved with 2L of oxygen which was weaned off the next morning with no further intervention. Over the course of the stay troponin peaked at 148 and trended down. Amlodipine 2.5mg was started due to worsening hypertension.  Patient has remained asymptomatic for bradycardia for the duration of his stay. Patient was stable at time of discharge.

Will resume all home medications except for amlodipine due to bradycardia and QTc prolongation. Patient will be starting amlodipine 2.5mg daily for hypertension. Patient will be sent home on a holter monitor for 7 days, given to him before discharge. Further discussion of CKD should be had with primary care provider.
