presenting to cardiology clinic today with confusion and
Somnolence. Of note, she was recently discharged at the
beginning of [**2876-4-14**] after presyncope/falls. At that time,
lasix was stopped and atenolol was switched to metoprolol as
there was concern that blunting of tachycardia could be
contributing to falls. She was discharged to rehab (previously
living at home).
Per report from the ER, patient has had confusion at home x 3
weeks, though no family accompanies her to corroborate this
story, and patient denies this. The patient is not sure why she
is in the hospital. She saw her cardiologist today, who
referred her to the ER after she appeared to be dehydrated,
somnolent, and confused.

numbness, tingling or weakness. No CP. +SOB, worsening DOE.

Assessment and Plan
Assesment: This is a 63 year-old male with a history of h/o
biphenotypic ALL, now Day + 32 from allogeneic SCT, who presents with
hypoxia, one week of worsening SOB, and two days of productive cough.
Plan:
# Hypoxia: The patient developed acute onset of hypoxia accompanied by
fever and a one day cough with sputum production. Given that the
patient is about 1 month s/p allogenic SCT the differential is broad
and would include bacterial pneumonia, viral pneumonia (CMV, flu), and
opportunistic infections including fungal infections. Patient also has
a history of CMV infection, aspergillus and Leggionare's disease and is on
posaconazole. His CXR showed an opacification of the left basilar lobe
and also right upper lobe concerning for pneumonia as well as a small
loculated right pleural effusion. Also in the differential is
noninfectious causes such as PE, CHF, or MI. US were negative for clot
and his first set of CE were negative.</topic>

consciousness. He was intubated then brought to [**Hospital1 5**] ED.

In the ED, his intial SBP was reported to be 110. Labs show K 2.7 and
Hct 25. He was given 40mEq of KCL. On repeat labs, his K normalized
and his Hct was 33 without any blood. It is unclear whether one of the
labs was erroneous.

There is mild global left ventricular hypokinesis (LVEF = 45-50 %). The

through the ED with SOB and back pain, and was noted to have atrial

post-obstructive PNA concerning for malignancy. For her atrial
fibrillation, she was started on diltiazem gtt, for which she was
transferred to the [**Hospital Unit Name 42**] for monitoring. The atrial fibrillation was
thought to be in the setting of a post-obstructive pneumonia, for which
she was treated with antibiotics. She was then transferred to the floor
later that same night on metoprolol 50 mg tid. While on the floor, she
had a bronchoscopy performed which showed external compression of her

Briefly, pt's symptoms began [**Month (only) 760**]. At that time pt was admitted
with GI bleed, transfused and discharged without resolution of
symptoms. Furthur workup noted bilateral atrial thrombi and
anticoagulation was reinitiated. CTA did not show PE but was concern
for small peripheral emboli as cause of dyspnea. Pt was had multiple
PFTs, echos, CT scans and CXRs without definitive cause of dyspnea.
Most recent PFTs on [**3432-12-27**] c/w restrictive ventilatory defect and low
DLCO suspicious for interstitial pulmonary process (worsening). She has
been followed by cardiology and pulmonology and is being treated for
dCHF and reactive airway disease.
.
On current admission pt presented with cough, thought to be URI, rather
than worsening of chronic dyspnea. Current etiology considerations
include CHF vs intrinsic pulmonary disease (infiltrative) vs embolic
disease.
In order to optimize cardic function with atrial kick, pt was
pretreated with Sotolol and underwent TEE and cardioversion of afib on
[**3433-1-11**]. After cardioversion, patient developed junctional HR to 45bpm
