Subjective:

Chief Complaint – complaints of chest pain, located in the left chest.

History of Present Illness: E. L is a 82 y.o. male with PMH of CAD (s/p MI ~9 years ago, no PCI

done), CVA (~6 years ago, residual right-sided vision deficits), DMII, HTN, HLD, CKD,

hypothyroid, former smoker and recent hospitalization for AKI on CKD (c/b pneumonia) who

presents from subacute rehab facility with acute onset chest pain. Patient states that this morning

at 5:00AM he suddenly developed sharp, 8/10, substernal chest pain. The pain is non-radiating.

He also reported nausea (no vomiting), a headache, and mild dyspnea at the time. He says the pain

is like that of his prior MI. He also describes a history of right leg weakness x2 weeks and

now right-hand weakness x1 week. Regarding his recent hospitalization, he was at RWJ-Rahway

(11/31/2018 through mid-December). He had a negative lexiscan this admission and an echo

showing normal EF with severe MR, moderate TR. Per his daughter, his creatinine was in the 2's

at time of discharge. Pt with recent admit to hamilton rwj 12/31-1/15 then went to rehab, wasn't

walking upon discharge- admitted to renal failure, left leg weakness, daughter states pneumonia

during hospitalization, did see cardiology , cannot remember doctors name- saw nephrology. In er

pt was evaluated by dr shanahan, cards on call, will have pt seen by hamilton cardiology due to

they have seen him during his last admission

Radiology: EXAM: XR Chest 1 View CLINICAL INDICATION: Chest Pain PROCEDURE:

A single digital radiograph of the chest was obtained. 01/24/2019, 6:14 AM COMPARISON:

None. FINDINGS: There are no tubes or lines present. Ill-defined airspace opacity is noted right
Arunateja Chennareddy SOAP Note 2

upper lobe. Interstitial pattern is noted bilateral lower lung zones. The costophrenic angles are

clear bilaterally. There is no pneumothorax. The cardiac silhouette is within normal limits. Hilar

and mediastinal contours are grossly normal There are degenerative changes in the spine.

Nonspecific airspace opacity right upper lobe. This could represent an infectious infiltrate.

Malignancy cannot be excluded. Nonspecific bilateral lower lung zone interstitial pattern.

Unenhanced CT recommended. Electronically signed by: Mark Tenenzapf, M.D.

EXAM: CT Chest wo IV Contrast CLINICAL INDICATION: RUL opacity-Chest pain,

unspecified-Unspecified kidney failure PROCEDURE: A helical dataset of the chest was

acquired. Interpretation is based on review of axial, coronal, and sagittal reformat images.

Automated exposure control was utilized for this exam. Dosimetry information: CTDIvol per

series = 0.1 mGy,0.1 mGy,12.9 mGy, Total DLP = 561.9 mGy.cm. COMPARISON: Plain films

performed earlier on this date. FINDINGS: Heart: There are coronary arterial atherosclerotic

calcifications (moderate calcific burden). There is no pericardial effusion. There are atherosclerotic

changes of the aorta without evidence of aneurysm. The vascular structures within the

mediastinum are normal in diameter. Mediastinum/hila: Evaluation is limited without IV contrast.

Right hilar masses/lymphadenopathy are, however, present. There are also enlarged right

paratracheal lymph nodes and a few mildly enlarged lymph nodes anterior to the arch. Largest

individual nodal structure is noted in the right paratracheal area measuring 2 x 1.4 cm. Lungs:

There is a spiculated soft tissue mass within the right upper lobe posterior segment measuring 3 x

2.5 cm axial image 28. There are mild compressive atelectatic changes near the lung bases. There

are a few scattered small groundglass opacities within the left lung which are nonspecific. There

are small bilateral pleural effusions. There is a small focus of pleural-based soft tissue thickening
Arunateja Chennareddy SOAP Note 2

within the right lower thorax posterolaterally measuring 1.3 cm. Chest wall/axilla: There is no

axillary adenopathy. Right supraclavicular lymphadenopathy is suspected measuring on the order

of 2.6 x 1.1 cm. The thyroid gland is normal in appearance. Bones: There are degenerative

changes of of the spine. There are old right-sided rib fractures. The visualized portions of the

upper abdomen are unremarkable.

3 x 2.5 cm right upper lobe mass. Right hilar and superior mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Right

supraclavicular adenopathy suspected. Small bilateral pleural effusions with small pleural-based

lesion on the right. Metastatic malignancy is strongly suspected. Electronically signed by: Mark

Tenenzapf, M.D.

EXAM: CT Head wo IV Contrast CLINICAL INDICATION: Stroke COMPARISON: None.

PROCEDURE: A helical dataset of the brain was acquired. Interpretation is based on review of

axial, coronal and sagittal reformat images. Automated exposure control was utilized for this exam.

Dosimetry information: CTDIvol = 0.1 mGy,0.1 mGy,36.7 mGy, DLP = 890.6 mGy.cm.

FINDINGS: There is no intracranial hemorrhage demonstrated. There is no mass, mass-effect, or

midline shift. There is no abnormal intra or extra-axial fluid collection. There is no evidence of

acute territorial/transcortical infarct. CT may be insensitive in the first 24 hours, and MRI may be

more sensitive if there is a high degree of clinical concern. The ventricles and sulci are mildly

prominent, consistent with mild atrophy. There is decreased attenuation in the periventricular and

subcortical white matter, consistent with small vessel disease. The cerebellum and brainstem

appear within normal limits, allowing for artifact. The sella and parasellar regions appear normal.

The orbital regions are unremarkable. The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid
Arunateja Chennareddy SOAP Note 2

air cells are unremarkable. The calvarium is intact. There is no evidence of fracture. The

visualized portions of the upper cervical spine appear normal.

No acute intracranial abnormality. Electronically signed by: Theresa Aquino, MD

Assessment:

Per daughter Pt has been having some weakness of the right upper ex and is scheduled to have CT

head today. CT ordered in the ER. To get more details, RN Call out to Marianna at the Elms of

Cranbury. RN asked if patient is on any blood thinners. Per Marianna, patient hasnt been receiving

any blood thinners. Patient was discharged from RWJ December 15th and is in acute rehab for

AKI and Chronic Kidney Disease.

Pt observed and reevaluated in the ER. Pt still with pain. Pt ekg with mild st depressions laterally.

Pt with + trop, however, pt in renal failure with creat 4.1. Pt is DNR/DNI.

Nitro drip ordered. Pt case discused with Dr. Shanahan, came to the ER to see pt, Pt in CT. Plan

to obtain CT head and if neg heparin and admit to the IMCU. Pt case d/w DR. Koganti will notify

oncomiing intensivist, Dr. Youseff for likely IMCU admit.

Primary working Diagnosis:

(Papadakis.S.J., et.al., 2018).

Active Co-Morbid Diagnosis:

Arunateja Chennareddy SOAP Note 2

Plan:

Further diagnostics: Follow up Labs:

CBC with manual leukocyte differential- to get clear picture of the wbc differentials

BMP- to trend the potassium levels and for further management

TSH- to identify any underlying hormonal issues considering the history of pheochromocytoma

BNP- to identify any underlying CHF and also to get clearence before starting an alpha blocker.

HbA1C- to further evaluate hyperglycemia for DM as patient BMI >30

Troponins 3 hr &6 hr- to rule out or evaluate in further for cardiac etiology

EKG- follow up in AM for identifying abnormal rhythms.

D- Dimers- as patient at low risk for PE, to further evaluate the need of CT Scan / VQ Scan

Treatment plan: E.L is a 82 y.o. male with PMH of CAD (s/p MI ~9 years ago, no PCI done),

CVA (~6 years ago, residual right-sided vision deficits), DMII, HTN, HLD, CKD, former smoker

and recent hospitalization for AKI on CKD (c/b pneumonia) who presents from subacute rehab

facility with acute onset chest pain.

#NSTEMI: substernal chest pain, troponin elevated to 0.25 (although in the setting of acute on

chronic renal failure), and borderline lateral ST depression in V3-V4. He had a normal lexiscan

(1/14/2018) and an echo which showed EF 55% (and severe MR, moderate TR). Hamilton

cardiology following.

- Notably the patient does not wish to pursue cardiac catheterization at this time (DNR/DNI status)

- Continue heparin gtt

- Nitroglycerine gtt discontinued, continue nitro paste q6 PRN for chest pain
Arunateja Chennareddy SOAP Note 2

- Continue DAPT with aspirin/Brilinta (reported plavix allergy)

- Continue metoprolol succinate 25mg PO QD

- Troponin now downtrending 0.25 -> 0.23

- Repeat echo ordered

#Acute on chronic kidney disease: unclear baseline, although renal function significantly worsened

~1 month ago. Reportedly improved by discharge to ~2's, although per records was 4.0 two days

prior to admission. Nephrologist Dr. Hannani (Mercer Renal Associates).

- Trend BMP's

- Strict I/O's, daily weights

- Will try to obtain records from last hospitalization and primary nephrologist.

#RUL lung mass: CT chest showed a 3.0x2.5cm RUL mass with associated right hilar and

mediastinal (possibly supraclavicular) LAD, concerning for metastatic malignancy per radiology.

- Given solitary pulmonary mass and pt's smoking history, more suspicious of lung primary. Will

need close follow up and possible biopsy when cardiac and renal issues controlled

#Right-sided weakness: RUE weakness x1 week, RLE weakness x2 weeks. CT head negative on

admission.

- Considering MRI to better evaluate for ischemic process

Arunateja Chennareddy SOAP Note 2

#DMII:

- LDSSI, glucose checks qAC/qHS. Uptitrate regimen as appropriate

#HTN:

- Metoprolol succinate 25mg PO QD as above

#HLD: Not on a statin (reported allergy to simvastatin, reaction unclear)

- Will try to determine if a true allergy and if a statin can be started this admission

#Mitral regurgitation: severe per TTE 1/14/2019. Patient seems asympatomic at present

- Repeat echo as above

#GERD:

- Lansoprazole 15mg PO QD

#Hypothyroid

- Continue home synthroid 75mcg PO QD

FENP: No IVF, replete PRN, NPO, SCD's
