-- Clarify She appears comfortable with adequate pain
control with prn morphine. Given her tight valvular stenosis,
she is high risk for general anesthesia.
- would start standing tylenol 1g q8
- continue morphine IV prn for breakthrough
- plan for OR tomorrow am per ortho pending optimization of her cardiac
function, and improvement in renal function

# CAD: No clear documentation, however given age calcific
atherosclerosis is highly likely
-- continue statin
-- Hold beta blocker for now
-- hold aspirin in perioperative period
.
# ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: In setting of acute pain and peri-op. Will need
to monitor as pt with high CHADS score, however in periop period would
not be able to have systemic anticoagulation
-- Rate control with beta blocker once stable
-- If unstable, would use esmolol first, cardiovert last option.
.
# HTN: Better controlled on floor. Good BP control essential for
preventing flash pulmonary edema in setting of AS.
- continue metoprolol, as above
- continue to monitor BP and consider adding another [**Doctor Last Name **] such
as amlodipine 5mg daily if BP sustains above SBP 150s
.
# Hyperlipidemia
- continue simvastatin 40mg PO daily
.
# FEN/GI: Low sodium diet, replete lytes PRN
