Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Patient is a 64-year-old male. He has a heart condition confined with a diagnosis of CHF, and CVA infarct. He is now experiencing difficulty in breathing and swollen feet. He is currently taking Carvedilol, Aspirin, Furosemide, Captopril, Atorvastatin (old prescription). BP ranges 140/120 mmHg. Please advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
He suffers from congestive heart failure and is taking medicines for that. You did not tell dosages of medicines. His reports show (attachment removed to protect patient identity) he also has raised creatinine and urea levels which may be due to varied causes. It may be due to reduced blood supply to kidneys due to heart failure or may be due to over diuresis. Or it may be due to any angiography or angioplasty done in the past. Or even it may be due to intrinsic renal problem. He has shortness of breath and swollen feet means he suffers from the left and right ventricular failure, but you did not send her echocardiography and did not tell ejection fraction.
