You had a recent episode of lower leg edema (swelling) which your primary care physician prescribed Lasix (medicine to get rid of fluid). You vital signs were within normal limits and there was no oxygen saturation (rest) provided. Your electrocardiogram (recording of your heart activity) was Sinus (normal). In emergency room you received 30 milligram of Lovenox (blood thinner) and Methylprednisolone (medicine to help with breathing). You were admitted, started on aspirin, Cardiac enzymes (test) were done and your first troponin (test) was negative (no other results provided). You were continued on Prednisone (medicine) 10 milligram daily; restarted on Coumadin (blood thinner), Diltiazem (medicine), and a low salt diet was recommended as well as you received Albuterol via a nebulizer (breathing treatment) every 4 hours.

History of Present Illness: Mr. Perkins is a very pleasant 50-year-old man who was referred for ongoing dyspnea on exertion. He states that his symptoms began about a year ago and at that time, he had extensive cardiac evaluation, which reveals significant mitral valve regurgitation for which he has mitral valve repair. Since that time, however, he states that his level of cardiovascular fitness has not returned to his previous baseline. He is here today for formal evaluation. It should be noted that he did have a right heart catheterization performed that showed normal LV function with normal right heart pressures in September 2014. It should also be noted that he was not anemic at that time. He also has exercise stress testing performed perioperatively, which demonstrated limited exercise treadmill test secondary to marked accelerated hypertensive blood pressure in response to exercise. He states that he normally works out on a regular basis. He has been working out actively for a while doing cross fit and doing plank holds and other strenuous activities. He also has membership to Planet Fitness where he does run on the treadmill, as well. He once again states that his cardiovascular endurance is not quite where he feels it should be. He denies any associated wheeze with his symptoms. He has no chest pain. He does note a chronic morning bout of productive sputum that has persisted for one year as well. He denies this as being a
