Clinical narrative: Document Type: History and Physical   Document Subject: History & Physical Note   Performed By: MD on January 26, 2023 23:58   Verified By: MD on January 26, 2023 23:58   Encounter Info: Hospital, Observation, 01/26/23 - 01/27/23    * Final Report *  Document Has Been Revised          History of Present Illness/Subjective     71 year old male s/p aortic valve replacement with hx of afib, CHF, CVA, thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm, HLD, HTN COPD, hypothyroidism, IBS, lumbar disc herniation, PAD, cholelithiasis dementia, and schizoaffective disorder presents from the nursing home to the emergency department with complaints of reported chest pain earlier in the day but none at this time.  In fact, no complaints at this time.  Called to bedside, heart rate in the mid 30s, reviewed EKG showing atrial flutter with slow ventricular response.  Denies chest pain, diaphoresis, lightheadedness.  No history of angina, no documented history of coronary artery disease..  Patient has history of mechanical aortic valve replacement, prescribed warfarin, currently INR 2.26.  Chest ray shows no acute cardiopulmonary abnormality, only evidence of mild central vascular congestion, no frank pulmonary edema, prior sternotomy and aortic valve replacement, personally reviewed.  Blood pressure on low side of normal, systolic blood pressure generally in the 90s.  No hypoxia or tachypnea noted.  Minimally elevated white blood cell count with normal differential.  Cardiac enzymes negative x2 sets.   Denies cough, fever.  No chest pain at this time.   At the time of evaluation initially, patient in the emergency department heart rate in the 40s and 50s, worsened upon presentation necessitating immediate transfer to the intensive care unit for closer monitoring.

Symptomatic bradycardia   R00.1  At this point, appears to be more consistent with asymptomatic bradycardia, however, given reported chest pain prior to arrival, will classify as symptomatic.  At this point in time, heart rate in the 30s, blood pressure normal, asymptomatic.  We will moved to the intensive care unit for closer monitoring.  Atropine at bedside.  If symptomatic or worsening bradycardia, will consider low-dose dopamine infusion for positive chronotropic effect.  Obviously will hold metoprolol.  Patient is nursing home patient, they manage his medication, no apparent evidence of overuse.  Check thyroid function.  Cardiology to consult in the morning.  Place pacing pads in the ICU.   Last echocardiogram in September 2022 showing preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, moderate left atrial enlargement.  We will hold off on repeating pending cardiology consult.   2. Chest pain   R07.9  The patient tells me that he has prior left heart catheterization.  Vital signs stable, no symptoms at this time.  Monitor.   3. H/O mechanical aortic valve replacement   Z95.2  No evidence of heart failure, good mechanical click.   4. On anticoagulant therapy   Z79.01  Warfarin, monitor INR closely.   5. Hypothyroidism   E03.9  Home medication, check TSH   6. Hypertension   I10  Home medication   7. BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia)   N40.0  Monitor for signs of retention.   8.  Thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm.  4.8 cm in 2021, stable from 2019, no interval evaluation.  Patient with chest and back pain, seems somewhat intermittent but given presentation, will obtain CT angiography for further evaluation, rule out acute pathology.
