Case
Case 3
A 66-year-old man comes into your clinic as a new patient. Seven years ago at a
work-related health screening, he was diagnosed with hypertension and hypercholesterolemia.
At that time, he saw a physician who prescribed a diuretic and
encouraged him to lose some weight and to diet and exercise. Since that time,
the patient has not sought medical attention. During the past 2 months, he has
been experiencing occasional headaches, which he attributes to increased stress
at work. He denies chest pain, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, or
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. He smokes one pack of cigarettes per day and has
done so since he was 15 years old. He typically drinks two glasses of wine with dinner.
On examination, the patient is obese, and you calculate his body mass index
(BMI) as 30 kg/m2. His blood pressure is 168/98 mm Hg in the right arm and
170/94 mm Hg in the left arm. His blood pressure did not change with changes
in position. His heart rate is 84 bpm. He has no thyromegaly or lymphadenopathy.
Funduscopic examination reveals narrowing of the arteries, arteriovenous nicking,
and flame-shaped hemorrhages with cotton wool exudates. Cardiac examination
reveals that his point of maximal impulse is displaced 2 cm left of the midclavicular
line. There is an S4 gallop. No murmurs are auscultated. Lung and abdomen
examinations are normal.
