Chief Complaint

Chest pressure, left-sided, 3 weeks duration.

History of Present Illness

Patient reports dull, substernal chest pressure radiating to the left arm, onset approximately 3 weeks ago. Pressure is intermittent, worse with exertion, lasts 5-10 minutes, relieved by rest. Denies shortness of breath, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, palpitations, or syncope. No recent illness or fever.

Past Medical History

Medications

Lisinopril 10 mg daily (reports inconsistent adherence). Atorvastatin 20 mg at bedtime (recently started).

Social History

Family History

Father: MI at age 52. Mother: HTN, T2DM. Brother: hyperlipidemia.

Review of Systems

Constitutional: denies fever, chills, weight change. Cardiovascular: chest pressure as above, no edema, no claudication. Respiratory: negative. GI: negative. GU: negative. Neuro: negative. Endocrine: denies polyuria, polydipsia.

Physical Examination

General: well-developed, no acute distress. Vitals: BP 148/92, HR 78, RR 16, Temp 98.6 F, SpO2 98% RA. CV: RRR, no murmurs, gallops, or rubs. JVP not elevated. No peripheral edema. Lungs: CTAB bilaterally. Abdomen: soft, NT/ND, no HSM.

Assessment & Plan

1. Chest pain with typical anginal features (substernal, exertional, relieved by rest) — suspected stable coronary artery disease given HTN, hyperlipidemia, and family history of premature MI.

- ECG today: normal sinus rhythm, no ischemic changes

- Start aspirin 81 mg daily; sublingual nitroglycerin 0.4 mg PRN chest pain

- Labs: troponin not indicated (no rest pain); BMP, lipid panel, HbA1c

- Exercise stress test referral

- Go to the ED for chest pain at rest or lasting more than 15 minutes

2. Hypertension, above goal — counsel on adherence to lisinopril; recheck BP at follow-up

- Low-sodium DASH diet; aerobic exercise to begin after stress test

- Return in 1 week for results

3

The note is written from those facts

Notat fills in this template from the checked facts. You review, edit, and sign.
