A 47-yeаr-оld femаle with а histоry оf poorly controlled HTN presents to the ED with complaints of headache as well as running out of her medications for the past week. She normally takes the following antihypertensives: hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg QD, lisinopril 40 mg QD, amlodipine 10 mg QD, and metoprolol succinate 100 mg QD. Work-up in the ED reveals evidence of end organ damage, and the decision is made to initiate parenteral treatment for slow BP reduction.All of the following are appropriate parenteral agents used to treat hypertensive emergencies EXCEPT.
A 70-yeаr-оld femаle with а histоry оf HTN, DM, HFpEF, and CAD has undergone 4 vessel coronary artery bypass grafting without complication. During the post-operative period the patient developed an irregularly irregular tachyarrhythmia with a heart rate in the 150s. 12 lead EKG showed atrial fibrillation. She was given 5 mg of metoprolol tartrate x2 doses with appropriate rate control and was started on 25 mg PO twice daily. Despite appropriate rate control the patient remained in atrial fibrillation throughout her hospital stay. What is the CHA2DS2-VASc score AND what anticoagulation should this patient be discharged on?
A 73-yeаr-оld femаle with а histоry оf HTN, CAD s/p CABG, MR s/p MVR, HFrEF, AF, and ESRD has had 6 admissions to the hospital for acute on chronic systolic heart failure over the past year. Her cardiologist decided to perform a right heart catheterization to evaluate her filling pressures and cardiac output. Her pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) resulted at 27 mmHg. All of the following are causes of an elevated PCWP EXCEPT.
A 60-yeаr-оld mаle with а histоry оf HTN, HL, CAD with MI s/p stents, DM, and HFpEF is describing his heart failure symptoms over the past 6 months. He endorses dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, and overall decreased exercise tolerance that is present with less than normal physical activity but goes away with rest. He describes that he has a marked limitation of his physical activity but that he is comfortable at rest and has been exercising less because of this. Which of the following is the MOST accurate classification of the severity of this patient’s heart failure?
