The patient's significant other at bedside reports that these symptoms onset suddenly 3 days ago. While obtaining history, the patient does not have any of these symptoms and is A&Ox4. The patient has been experiencing difficulty with ambulation secondary to complaint of fatigue, unclear exact onset. Denies any focal weakness, headache, neck pain, chest pain, abdominal pain, or other complaints. Denies hx of DM. The patient is established with Dr primary care. Denies any pertinent PSHx. NKDA. Social history negative for tobacco use and current alcohol use.     ???Upon ED evaluation imaging as below.  His initial heart rate was 39, respiratory rate is 20, blood pressure was 192/59, ED EKG showed A-fib with slow ventricular response and left bundle branch block.  Lab work revealed a normal white blood cell count of 5.5, hemoglobin was 10.6, potassium was 3.3, GFR was 21 which appears to be his baseline, troponin was 37 with repeat being the same.  Lactate was 2.1 with repeat being 1.3.  UA showed positive nitrates large leukocyte Estrace and 51-100 WBCs.  COVID-19 testing was negative.  Urology was consulted recommended admission here continuation of stroke work-up.   ???????Patient will be admitted for further evaluation management of acute CVA, bradycardia and hypertension  MRI Brain W/O IV Contrast    07/24/23 14:59:44  IMPRESSION:  1. Acute left MCA territory infarct involving predominantly the  cortex of the inferior division without associated hemorrhage or  significant mass effect.  2. Old left parieto-occipital infarct.  3. Technically degraded MRA, limiting evaluation.  4. Lack of flow-related signal in the left PCA, which may reflect  chronic occlusion.  5. Suspected high-grade stenosis of the right P1-P2 junction.  6. Likely moderate stenoses of the left M1 segment.  7. Slight prominence of the basilar tip, nonspecific but possibly  representing an aneurysm.  8. Further characterization of the above findings with CTA of the  head is advised.   Findings to be communicated to the ordering provider by clerical.   Thank you for consulting our team of subspecialty radiologists. Please contact us with any questions.

CVA (cerebrovascular accident)   I63.9   Acute left-sided CVA on MRI, neurology was consulted from ER ? We will continue aspirin, started a statin.  Try to keep systolic blood pressures less than 200 but can allow permissive hypertension ? Echocardiogram carotid Dopplers ordered for the morning ? PT OT and speech consults ? Bedside swallowing eval for tonight then can start diet  -he is not on anticoagulation for a fib due to high risk of bleeding, will discuss with neurology     2. Bradycardia   R00.1   We have reduced Coreg dosing with hold orders for heart rate less than 65 patient does have a history of A-fib     3. HTN (hypertension)   I10   Holding Lasix at this time, resume Coreg at lower dosin,g continue amlodipine in a.m.  Continue Imdur as well     4. UTI (urinary tract infection)   N39.0   UA evidence of UTI ? Culture pending ? Continue with cefepime for now as previous micro showed Pseudomonas sensitivity to cefepime     5. A-fib   I48.91  Not on anticoagulation due to high risk of bleeding, patient has been compliant with his aspirin at home, I will discuss with neurology tomorrow whether or not they suggest starting anticoagulation ? Continue rate control meds reduced dosage due to current bradycardia      6. BPH with urinary obstruction   N40.1   Continue tamsulosin     7.
