The patient lives with his wife, uses alcohol occasionally, past tobacco use, no drug use Past medical history includes MI, CAD, 4 vessel CABG, hypercholesterolemia, claudication, and paroxysmal AF. Medications include warfarin 2mg PO QD, Metoprolol 25mg PO QD, Simvastatin 20mg PO QD, Triamterene/HCTZ 25mg PO QD, amiodarone 200mg PO QD Vital Signs BP 116/53 RR 16 HR 52 Oxygen saturation 99% on RA Temp 36.8 degrees C Exam: Healthy appearing male, alert and responsive. Patient is relaxed, reports no pain, no nausea. Cardiovascular: S1, S2; irregular; bradycardic; II/VI Systolic ejection murmur right upper sternal border; All other findings are normal including an extensive neurological exam RHK is given an IV, placed on oxygen therapy, a CBC, Ca, Mg, phosphate, CK, Tnl, & chem 7 blood studies, chest X- ray, ECG, ordered Results of the ECG reveal atrial flutter, no cardiac ischemia, and a variable block with HR in the 50s. CBC, cardiac enzymes, chem 7 and chest X-ray are normal. His BP is found to drop slightly when he sits up following a prone position. MI is ruled out and the patient is admitted for further observation. During the night, the patient's HR intermittently falls to 30 BPM.
