Paper For Above instruction
The assessment of the cardiac system is a crucial component in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular diseases. Proper documentation of subjective and objective data provides a comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition, facilitates accurate diagnosis, and guides appropriate interventions. This paper presents a problem-based assessment of a patient's cardiac status, emphasizing the importance of detailed documentation, identification of abnormal findings, and recognition of risk factors.
Subjective Data
The subjective assessment begins with the chief complaint, which for this case involved the patient reporting episodes of chest discomfort and dyspnea on exertion over the past two weeks. The patient described the chest pain as a pressing sensation, radiating to the left arm and jaw, which is characteristic of anginal pain. Further inquiry revealed the patient’s history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, both significant risk factors for coronary artery disease. The patient stated that the discomfort occurs during physical activity and is relieved with rest. Additional subjective data included the patient’s age, which is 58 years old, and lifestyle factors such as smoking history and sedentary behavior, contributing further to cardiovascular risk. The patient’s medications included antihypertensives and statins, which are relevant in understanding ongoing management and risk modification.
Objective Data
The physical examination revealed a regular heart rate of 88 beats per minute and a blood pressure of 142/90 mm Hg, indicating slightly uncontrolled hypertension. Inspection showed no visible chest deformities, and no cyanosis or pallor was observed. Palpation of the carotid arteries was symmetrical, with no thrills or bruits noted. Auscultation identified a regular rhythm with a cadence of S1 and S2, and no murmurs, rubs, or gallops were heard. Peripheral vascular examination was normal, with symmetrical peripheral pulses and no edema. The brain palpation was unremarkable, and no abnormal heart sounds or extra sounds like S3 or S4 were detected. Laboratory tests such as lipid profile were not available at the time but are important for ongoing assessment. The objective data highlights vital signs and physical examination findings consistent with cardiovascular health, but also shows areas needing further evaluation, such as blood pressure control and lipid management.
Actual or Potential Risk Factors
Two significant risk factors identified in this patient include uncontrolled hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Uncontrolled hypertension increases the risk for hypertensive heart disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction due to increased vascular strain and potential for arterial damage. Hyperlipidemia contributes to atherosclerosis, increasing the likelihood of coronary artery blockage, which can lead to angina and myocardial infarction. These risk factors are directly linked to the patient's presenting symptoms and physical examination findings and are modifiable through lifestyle modifications and medication adjustments. Addressing these risks is essential for preventing progression of cardiovascular disease and improving patient outcomes.
