 Hello everyone, my name is Marjorie, and I’m here to present to you with the case of John Doe, who is a 65-year-old male, diagnosis of congestive heart failure. He smoked half a pack of cigarettes daily in Kosumako Hall. An assessment, it was found he has PD in edema at the lower extremities, lung quackle sound at base, lab, he has elevated BNP, LDL, and A1C, medical history is diabetes and high blood pressure, surgical history is coronary artery bypass. Pathophysiology of the condition of heart failure is also known as congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart is unable to pump adequately blood to satisfy the body’s need. This may inspire that your heart is incapable of sufficiently filling with blood. This may also occur when the heart is inadequately strong to pump efficiently. The term heart failure don’t imply that your heart is stopped working. Heart failure is a serious condition that necessitates medical intervention. Clinical manifestation is shortness of breath on a physical activity or while laying flat. You get tired, weakness. You have legs, lower legs, swelling, and your heart is either beat too fast or too slow or have irregular heartbeat. You cough. Sometimes you have sputum come out or sputum come out with blood. Diagnosis of the condition is ECG that captures the hard electrical activities to detect arrhythmias or myocardial injury or electrocardiography. It’s an ultrasound assessment of the heart that evaluates the size and function in pumping efficiently of the cardiac chambers. Checks x-ray provides images of the heart and lungs to assess for hypertrophy or fluid retention. Blood tests to evaluate for underlying conditions such as anemia, thyroid abnormalities, or infections. Stress tests is to evaluate the heart’s response to physical exertion. Okay, thank you for your time.
