2020SP Case Study RHK is a 68 year old man who has been brought to the ER by his son. The two were outside planting spring bulbs when RHK passed out after standing up from a kneeling position. His son managed to break the fall and there is no injury associated with the incident. Afterward, there was a brief period of chest discomfort and shortness of breath. RHK reports feeling lightheaded with some palpitations just before he fainted. He reports feeling pronounced weakness during the prior week. He is two years post CABG. He has no previous episodes of fainting or recent illnesses. He has no other complaints. The patient lives with his wife, uses alcohol occasionally, past tobacco use, no drug use Past medical history includes MI, CAD, 4 vessel CABG, hypercholesterolemia, claudication, and paroxysmal AF. Medications include warfarin 2mg PO QD, Metoprolol 25mg PO QD, Simvastatin 20mg PO QD, Triamterene/HCTZ 25mg PO QD, amiodarone 200mg PO QD Vital Signs BP 116/53 RR 16 HR 52 Oxygen saturation 99% on RA Temp 36.8 degrees C Exam: Healthy appearing male, alert and responsive. Patient is relaxed, reports no pain, no nausea.

CBC, cardiac enzymes, chem 7 and chest X-ray are normal. His BP is found to drop slightly when he sits up following a prone position.

For this problem I need help taking the case study information on the patient and diagnosing what caused his illness/what he has. Along with the question is definitions of some heart conditions as well as information on the different medications he was on. We really need the diagnosis and maybe some reccommendations of sources we could look more into for definitions.
