Mr. Zack Nieman is a 62-year-old white man with ischemic cardiomyopathy, status post coronary artery bypass graft in 1985 with left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending, saphenous vein graft to posterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal branch, and a repeat coronary artery bypass graft done in 1995 with saphenous vein graft to first diagonal, saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal, and saphenous vein graft to posterior descending artery. He had multiple episodes of pulmonary congestion and was admitted to Rorea Valley Health for IV diuresis. EKG revealed atrial flutter with variable block (2:1 versus 3:1), rate around 120, left bundle branche block, and echocardiogram revealed ejection fraction about 25% with 2+ mitral regurgitation. On admission, his temperature was 97.1, pulse 103, blood pressure 148/94, respirations 18, and O2 saturation 97% on two liters. Because of his rapid ventricular response, Digoxin was started with a loading dose of 0.5 mg, then 0.25 mg times two q. six hours, and the patient was then on a maintenance dose of Digoxin at 0.125 mg p.o. q. day, and his Digoxin level has been maintained around 0.9. For his rate control, the amiodarone was also increased to 400 mg q. day, and the patient was started on anticoagulation with heparin. The patient underwent cardioversion through his AICD by the Electrophysiological Service with successful conversion to normal sinus rhythm, and was loaded with Coumadin and meanwhile on heparin until INR between 2-3. The patient developed hyperthyroidism secondary to amiodarone, treated with PTU, then developed hypothyroidism, treated with Levothyroxine. He was discharged on Amiodarone 400 mg p.o. q.d., Captopril 25 mg p.o. t.i.d., clonazepam 1 mg p.o., Lasix 80 mg p.o. b.i.d., glipizide 5 mg p.o. q.d., levothyroxine sodium 100 mcg p.o. q.d., magnesium oxide 420 mg p.o. q.d., Lopressor 25 mg p.o. b.i.d., nitroglycerin 1/150 (0.4 mg) one tab sublingual q. five minutes times three, Coumadin 5 mg p.o. q. day until INR between 2-3 then the dose needs to be adjusted accordingly to maintain INR between 2-3, Simvastatin 20 mg p.o. q. h.s., Klonopin 0.5 mg p.o. q. a.m., Digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. q.d., isosorbide, mononitrate-SR 30 mg p.o. q.d., and troglipazone 400 mg p.o. q. day.
Has the patient ever had isosorbide
isosorbide, mononitrate-SR 30 mg p.o. q.d., and troglipazone 400 mg p.o. q. day.
