During admission, she was maintained on metformin, her blood pressure was controlled with Lisinopril at 40 milligrams, she was given nifedipine extended release 120 q.d., and her sugars at home on her regimen of 43 q.a.m. and 24 q.p.m. were in control.

Her cardiovascular evaluation showed three vessel disease, diastolic dysfunction, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure of 36 plus RA, but no wall motion abnormalities. Her blood pressure regimen was advanced with the addition of Atenolol 50 b.i.d. and titration up to 120 milligrams q.d. of nifedipine extended release. For congestive heart failure, she diuresed approximately four liters through admission with Lasix at 40 intravenously and would be discharged on a seven day course of Lasix at 20 p.o. q.d. Pulmonary evaluation showed hypoxia on admission to 85% on room air, D-dymer greater than 1000, V/Q scan low probability, negative lower extremity noninvasives, chest CT without interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary function tests consistent with restrictive picture. Endocrine evaluation revealed that she was maintained on metformin during admission and also on half of her dose of NPH given her decreased p.o. intake. She took insulin and checked her sugars at home, which were 170 to 200, and she was discharged on her normal regimen of 43 q.a.m. and 24 q.p.m. of NPH. Discharge medications included Atenolol 50 b.i.d., hydrochlorothiazide 25 q.d., Lisinopril 40 q.d., nifedipine extended release 120 q.d., metformin 500 q.d., NPH 43 q.a.m. and 24 q.p.m., simvastatin 10 q.d., aspirin 325 q.d., and Lasix 20 milligrams p.o. q.d. times seven days.
