I performed a nuclear stress test on this gentleman in late April. The test indicated a small area of ischemia. A heart cath was performed and a stent was placed in the RCA. A follow up visit post heart cath showed positive signs of improvement, normal BP and EKG.
Today he came to the office with some swelling in the ankles and complained of fatigue. We drew blood, ran an EKG (normal) and adjusted his BP meds thinking that they may be the cause of his fatigue. He was a little dehydrated and his BP was 130/60 in the office. We sent him home and waited for the lab results.
When he arrived home, he did not make it inside, collapsing in the front yard and died en route to the hospital.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death. I am guessing an electrical problem possibly related to the dehydration.
As he left the office I patted him on the back and told him it was good to see him and to take care.
Tough.
