Re: Mr. Dave Cochrane DOB: 20/11/1969

I am writing to refer Mr. Cochrane, a 52-year-old retired patient who has developed unstable left ventricular
failure.

Initially ! , Mr. Cochrane presents with severe shortness of breath, chest pain, 2-hour sweating
and anxiety. His physical examination reveals dyspnoea, high jugular venous pressure and "

bilateral ankle oedema. On auscultation " , no murmurs were heard, but " there
were bilateral multiple basal pulmonary crepitations. His BP was 120/60 and " his pulse
rate was 66 BPM. He has been on daily Frusemide 40 mg and " Digoxin 0.25 mg

since his first visit " on 12/08/2022.

two weeks afterward ! , Mr. Cochrane reported moderate chest tightness, nocturnal cough and postural

shortness of breath. On examination " , his physical signs were similar to today’s visit
but " they were less severe. The ECG revealed cardiomegaly and "

the chest x-ray revealed signs of pulmonary infection. A one-week course " of a broad spectrum

medical condition had deteriorated and ! he was reviewed Today ! .
