CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY CLINIC NOTE
 
CC:  MyChart video Second degree AVB s/p DCPM with His lead 12/2019
 
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:
Donald is a 73 year old male with a history of DM, CAD, 2:1 AV block s/p DCPM. He was diagnosed with afib at a 10/2019 office visit with Dr. Poku, he was started on Eliquis and sent home with a 30 day monitor, he was found to have long runs of 2:1 second degree AV block (no afib noted) s/p DCPM with a His lead in 12/2019. An outside echo from 11/2019 shows an EF of 56%. He follows with Dr. Poku.
 
He follows up today via MyChart with no cardiac complaints and is feeling well. Denies CP, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, near syncope. Home SBP on average is 150. Dr. Poku recommended holding Eliquis 7/2020 as no afib has been identified on home monitoring.

DATA
 
Echo (11/4/19):
EF 56%
 
30 Day Event Monitor (11/15/2019): 
-The study is a 30-day mobile cardiac telemetry ordered for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
-There were a total of 66 events transmitted during the monitoring period, including the baseline transmission.
-The baseline transmission demonstrated sinus rhythm at 68 bpm with second degree AV block type I (Wenckebach), and isolated ventricular premature complexes.
-The average heart rate for the monitoring period was 52 bpm (min 28 - max 100).
-There were 2 patient-activated transmissions with reported symptoms of rapid heartbeat and the corresponding rhythm strips showed: sinus rhythm with 2:1 AV block, isolated ventricular premature complexes, and sinus rhythm with first degree AV block
-There were 63 auto-detected transmissions with the corresponding rhythm strips showing: sinus rhythm with second degree AV block type I (Wenckebach), episodes of 2:1 AV conduction, episodes of high grade second degree AV block with junctional escape
beats (min of 31 bpm), 13 significant pauses (longest 5.8 seconds), and isolated ventricular premature complexes.
-No atrial fibrillation detected. Total ventricular ectopy was 7%.
-Last data transmission was recorded on 12/14/19 (Day 30).
 
DEVICE ANALYSIS
Reviewed by us today. Full report in device progress note.
 
IMPRESSION AND PLAN
1)Second degree AV s/p DCPM with His lead 12/2019
-Normal device function per remote check.
-AP 42%, HisP 97.1%.
-Programmed MVP, change with next in person visit to DDD.
-No atrial or ventricular episodes.
-Battery estimating 5.4 yrs as well.
-Continue home monitoring.
-Follow up in 6 months with in person visit.
 
2) pAF
-No atrial episodes on device check, no AF noted on 11/2019 MCT.
-Dr. Poku has stopped Eliquis, presumably for lack of evidence of afib.
-CHADSVASc 4 (CAD, age, HTN, DM).
-Continue to monitor and discuss resuming Eliquis if indicated.
 
3) HLD
4) CAD
-Pt on simvastatin, 10/2020 LDL above goal at 118.
-Recommended he contact Dr. Poku's team for further management.
 
5) HTN
-BP above goal at home, recommended he contact Dr. Poku's team for further management.
 
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this is a virtual telehealth visit conducted via MyChart. I spent 30 minutes in this telehealth visit and on related clinical activities.

I have personally reviewed the history and examined the patient with the dictator/creator of this note. I have reviewed and edited this note and I attest that this reflects my assessment and plan or recommendations.
