|
Echocardiogram Blood work: A1C, Lipid panel and basic metabolic panel
|
The diagnosis of angina is usually suspected from a thorough history and examination. Patients should have an ECG and undergo assessment for cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia. An echocardiograph can help with the assessment of left ventricular function and best tool for prediction of survival. Once the clinical diagnosis of stable coronary artery disease is established, the patient’s risk of future cardiovascular events is evaluated. Patient has a family history of diabetes (Wee et. al, 2015). Metabolic panel to assess renal function to prescribe drugs that are metabolized by the kidneys such as Lasix and Lisinopril. |

Drug |
Dosage |
Length of Treatment |
|
Lasix |
40mg once daily - 30 days |
Crackles to lung bases. Establishing an effective diuretic regimen is crucial for achieving decongestion (JACC, 2019). |
|
Potassium chloride |
20 mEq once daily - 30 days |
Prescription of oral diuretics should also trigger consideration of how potassium supplements should be prescribed (JACC, 2019). |
|
Lipitor (continue) |
20mg daily at bedtime |
(see below) |
|
Lisinopril Lopressor (continue) Fish oil (continue) Aspirin Nitroglycerine |
2.5 mg once daily- 30 days 100mg once daily 1200mg twice daily 81mg once daily - 30 days 0.4mg 1 tab sublingual every 5 minutes (up to 3 tabs) as needed for chest pain |
Medical treatment aims to relieve angina and prevent cardiovascular events. Beta blockers and calcium channel antagonists are first-line options for treatment. Short-acting nitrates can be used for symptom relief. Low-dose aspirin and statins are prescribed to prevent cardiovascular eventsAngiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors should be prescribed for patients with stable angina, particularly those who have hypertension, left ventricular dysfunction, diabetes or chronic kidney disease Low-dose aspirin reduces major cardiac events by up to 30% and should be prescribed to patients with coronary artery disease. Sublingual glyceryl trinitrate tablets or nitroglycerin spray remain the treatment of choice for rapid relief of acute symptoms and anticipated angina (Wee et. al, 2015) |

Referral/Consults: |
|
|
Cardiologist |
Rationale/Citation Pt needs to follow up with his cardiologist given the extensive cardiac findings and associated life threatening risks.
|
|
Education: |
|
|
Daily weights
150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes a week at a vigorous pace
Diet rich in vegetables and whole grains
|
Rationale/Citation
Assess how much extra fluid is being held in body by weighing daily at the same time of day. If gain more than 2 lbs in 1 day or 5 lbs in 1 week call the office to report findings.. At this point Pt is experiencing chest pain on exertion so I wouldn’t tell him to start exercise immediately. But he should start slowly and progressively, as soon as symptoms go away The guidelines are based on current scientific evidence supporting the connections between physical activity, overall health and well-being, disease prevention and quality of life. (AHA, 2019).
All adults should consume a healthy diet that emphasizes the intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, lean vegetable or animal protein, and fish and minimizes the intake of trans fats, red meat and processed red meats, refined carbohydrates, and sweetened beverages. For adults with overweight and obesity, counseling and caloric restriction are recommended for achieving and maintaining weight loss. (AHA, 2019)
|
|
Follow Up: Indicate when patient should return to clinic and provide detailed instructions indicating if the patient should return sooner than scheduled or seek attention elsewhere. |
|
|
Follow up in 1 week to evaluate effectiveness of medications, blood pressure, serum potassium, cardiac and respiratory status. If symptoms worsen call 911 or go to nearest emergency room. Follow up with your cardiologist |
