Cardiology Follow-Up Note Interval History - Cardiac symptoms since last visit: chest pain/pressure, dyspnea, orthopnea, PND, palpitations, syncope/presyncope, edema, claudication, or fatigue. - Functional status (NYHA class or activity tolerance) and recent hospitalizations or ED visits. - Medication adherence, dose changes, and adverse effects (including hypotension, bradycardia, bleeding, electrolyte issues). - Lifestyle factors discussed: sodium intake, activity, tobacco, alcohol, weight changes. Data Reviewed - Recent ECG, echocardiogram, stress testing, cardiac CT/MRI, Holter/event monitor, labs (BNP/NT-proBNP, lipids, electrolytes, INR), and device interrogation findings as discussed. - Pending or outstanding cardiac studies. Exam - Vital signs including BP, HR, SpO2, and weight/BMI when available. - Focused cardiovascular exam: JVP, heart sounds/murmurs/rubs/gallops, rhythm, lung findings, edema, pulses as relevant. Assessment - Active cardiac diagnoses with current clinical status and trajectory. - Brief reasoning linking symptoms, exam, and data reviewed. Plan - Medication adjustments with rationale and monitoring plan. - Further testing, referrals (e.g., EP, HF clinic, cardiac rehab), lifestyle counseling, and follow-up interval. - Patient education and return precautions.
