History Notecard by
on case Susi Green
Use this worksheet to organize your thoughts before developing a differential diagnosis list.
1.
Indicate key symptoms (
Sx
) you have identified from the history. Start with the patient's reason(s) for the
encounter and add additional symptoms obtained from further questioning.
2.
Characterize the attributes of each symptom using
"OLDCARTS"
. Capture the details in the appropriate
column and row.
3.
Review your findings and consider possible diagnoses that may correlate with these symptoms.
(Remember to consider the patient's age and risk factors.) Use your ideas to help guide your physical
examination in the next section of the case.

Problem Statement by
case Susi Green
S.G. is a 63 y/o female, presents with sudden shortness of breath and severe difficulty breathing today as she was
getting off a plane, had to stop from walking to catch her breath. She also reports difficulty with stairs, needing to
stop walking every 10 or 20 yards. She denies SOB at rest, cough, wheezing, BLE swelling, or fever. She also denies
any palpitations, chest pain, or excessive sweating. She has a history of HTN, COPD, anxiety, and depression. She
also has hy of smoking @19 y/o x17 years. Patient appears to be stressed/anxious. She has elevated BP 155/90, S4
gallop heard at auscultation, RR at 26- labored breathing, O2 sat- 70%. Lung sounds were clear all lung fields, no
wheezing/rales; no BLE edema noted.

Diagnosis: CHF/Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
>12 Lead ECG: Normal sinus rhythm with left ventricular hypertrophy and with left atrial enlargement
Serial echocardiograms can find changes in ejection fraction (EF), structural remodeling, and valvular function. ECG
provides crucial information including worsening ventricular or valvular function. This can also be used as a follow-
up assessment of LVEF and remodeling after a patient receive treatments (American College of Cardiology, 2022).
>BNP: high 10
Measurement of BNP and NT-proBNP levels in a suspected cardiac cause of patient with dyspnea symptoms
provides an additional diagnostic value to clinical judgment when the cause of dyspnea is vague and the physical
examination is ambiguous. In the emergency setting, they are more useful for ruling out HF. The higher levels have
high positive predictive value to diagnose heart failure (American College of Cardiology, 2022).
>CXR Pulmonary edema, cardiomegaly
In patients with suspected heart failure, a chest x-ray is ordered to assess the size of the heart and congestion in
the lung. This also detect other cardiac and pulmonary diseases such as pneumonia, that may have caused the
symptoms of the patient (American College of Cardiology, 2022).
>Troponin I <0.03
Cardiac enzymes such as Troponin confirms if a heart attack has occurred and the extent of the damage (American
Heart Association, 2023).
>ABG: PaO2 36, SaO2 71%
Low oxygen levels is a sign that the heart is not pumping enough oxygen-rich blood to the body, as one of the
symptoms of CHF (American Heart Association, 2023).
>CBC: WBC 11,100- Mild leukocytosis and Hemoglobin 13.2- mild anemia
Abnormal results may indicate a strain on the heart or on other organs, which often results from heart failure. When
there is not enough oxygen carried by red blood cells, the heart moves at a faster heart rate to move the small
number of cells and becomes overtaxed from the effort (American Heart Association, 2023).
MEDICATIONS
>Increase frequency of patient's Hydrochlorotiazide to 25 mg 1 tab PO 2x daily
To prevent morbidity, patients with HFpEF and hypertension needs to have medication titrated to reach a blood
pressure targets in line with the published clinical practice guidelines. Thiazide diuretics such hydrochlorothiazide
are considered in patients with hypertension and HF with mild fluid retention. In patients with evidence of
congestion or fluid retention, diuretics should be prescribed. This also helps avoid recurrent symptoms (American
College of Cardiology, 2022).
>Start Jardiance (empagliflozin) 10 mg 1 tab PO daily
SGLT2i empagliflozin showed a significant benefit in symptomatic patients with HF with LVEF >40% and elevated
natriuretic peptides, according to the study of Empagliflozin Outcome Trial in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure
with Preserved Ejection Fraction. The study also found that it showed a significant reduction in total HF
hospitalizations, a decrease in eGFR decline, and a fair improvement in quality of life in patients at 52 weeks
(American College of Cardiology, 2022).

CONSULTS/REFERRALS
>Refer patient to cardiac rehab
An exercise rehabilitation program is appropriate for patients with HF who are in stable medical condition and are
capable in participating in an exercise program. This program includes a medical evaluation, to educate patients
on the importance of medical adherence, dietary recommendations, psychosocial support, and an exercise training
and physical activity counseling program. This results in an improvement in functional capacity, exercise tolerance,
reduce overall and HF-specific hospitalization rates, and improve quality of life (American College of Cardiology,
2022).
CLIENT EDUCATION
>Instruct patient on heart healthy/low sodium diet (hand-out provided)
A common nonpharmacologic treatment for patients with HF symptomatic with congestion is restricting dietary
sodium. The American Heart Association (AHA) currently recommends a sodium intake of <2300 mg/d for general
cardiovascular health promotion. The DASH diet suggest food rich in antioxidants and potassium, which achieves
sodium restriction but still provides adequate nutrition, along with dietary counseling (American College of
Cardiology, 2022).
>Instruct on importance of physical activity/exercise (hand-out provided)
Safe exercise training in patients with HF has numerous benefits. In a major study of exercise and HF, exercise
training shows a significant reduction in cardiovascular disease mortality or hospitalizations after risk factors
adjustments (American College of Cardiology, 2022).
FOLLOW-UP
Appointment made for follow-up in a week
Once HF diagnosis is made, it is urgent to start aggressive proven therapy. Initiating while optimizing doses sooner
before further worsening allows better achievement of guideline-derived medical treatment and prevent clinical
status deterioration. Most medications attain target dosing over a titration period of 2 to 4 months with 1- to 4-
week cycles along with 1 to 3 dosing changes (American Heart Association, 2023).
