Assessment note:
- F.B. is a 66 y/o Caucasian female presenting with 2-week h/o new onset,
intermittent, stable chest pain which radiates to the L arm, occurs with
SOB, is worse with cold temperatures and exertion, and improved by
rest. On physical exam she is pain free with stable vital signs. PMH risk
factors include: distant history of smoking (5 pack/years), a history of
HTN, and high cholesterol, and a family history of coronary vascular
disease.
- Stress test: 2-mm ST segment depression in inferior leads, 2, 3, and aVF
and V3-6 Diagnosis: Coronary artery disease: stable angina
Plan:
- Determine need for coronary angiography based on stress test results
and ECHO. Her Duke score of 10.5 is slightly above moderate risk, and
arguments could be made for both a trial at medication intervention
since the pt needs improvement on both HTN and
HLD o Augment management of preexisting HTN and HLD with a BB
(metoprolol 25 mg XR daily); a statin (atorvastatin 40 mg daily); and ASA
81 mg daily - Continue use of HCTZ 25 mg daily - Encourage lifestyle
