failure, carotid disease, aortic aneurysm,
pericarditis, or GERD
Diagnostics
• He should also receive a chest x-ray
• Fasting lab workup including cardiac enzymes,
electrolytes, CBC, BNP, CMP, Hgb A1C, lipid profile,
and liver function tests to confirm adiagnosis
Plan
1. Doppler testing ofpulses
2. Exercise EKG stress test
3. Refer to Cardiology for echocardiography in CT
angiography
4. Prescribed nitroglycerin for symptom
management
5. Prescribed aspirin regiment
6. Educate patients on signs of worsening
symptoms such as MI, CVA or unstable angina
7. Educate on the importance of a healthy diet and
exercise to help control hyperlipidemia
8. Educate on salt intake reduction due to
hypertension
9. Instruct patient to seek immediate medical
attention if signs or symptoms worsen and follow up
as needed
Medication
• Collaborate with cardiology specialist to prescribe
diuretic therapy, titrate off Lopressor and transition
to ACE inhibitor for management of blood pressure
• Upon future evaluation with cardiology, consider
PRN nitroglycerin for chest pain that does not
subside with rest
Education
• Educate patient regarding exercise, diet, and
lifestyle modifications
Referral/Consultation
• Expedited referral to cardiology for evaluation and
treatment, an echocardiogram, exercise stress test,
and bilateral carotid doppler examination
• Mr. Foster may need an additional consult with a
