PLAN:

Preoperative cardiovascular examination Patient is being evaluated for shoulder surgery. His physical activity is limited and ambulates very slowly around the house. The patient is complaining of mild shortness of breath and chest discomfort with physical activity occasionally at rest. He has a distant history of smoking. His baseline EKG showed flattening of the ST-T segment in the precordial leads no obvious ST depression but there is a T-wave inversion in V1 and V2. Because of his presentation and risks before I will clear him for surgery like to schedule him for cardiac testing. We're going to get Lexiscan nuclear stress test to rule out coronary etiology for his chest discomfort and an echocardiogram to evaluate LVF, function and rule out valvular disease. The patient will follow up after tests are completed.


FOLLOW-UP: with cardiologist: Dr. W, Schedule a follow-up appointment in 1 week..

Orders:
Electrocardiogram, routine with at least 12 leads; with interpretation and report (In-House)

HTN The patient has history of elevated blood pressure. His systolic blood pressure today was 160 mmHg. He is taking amlodipine 5 mg once daily. According to patient his blood pressure is usually within normal limits. I'm not going to change his medications today but if she continues to have a documented hypertension I'm going to increase amlodipine to 10 mg once a day or add another medication.


Patient Recommendations:

Schedule a follow-up visit in 1 week.
