Synthesis
Post aortic valve replacement follow-up, anticoagulation and cardiac status reviewed
Hospital course note
Dear colleague, I am writing to inform you regarding our mutual patient, an 81-year-old
male admitted for follow-up evaluation following his prior aortic valve replacement.
During his brief admission, we performed a thorough cardiac assessment including echocardiography
and ECG to evaluate prosthetic valve function and overall cardiac status. Laboratory
investigations including coagulation parameters (INR) were reviewed, and anticoagulation
therapy was adjusted accordingly. The prosthetic valve demonstrated satisfactory function
with no evidence of thrombosis, paravalvular leakage, or endocarditis. Haemodynamic
status remained stable throughout admission. Current anticoagulation regimen was optimised
prior to discharge. We recommend continued INR monitoring at regular intervals and
prompt reassessment should symptoms of dyspnoea, chest pain, or palpitations arise.
Please do not hesitate to contact our cardiology department for any further queries.
