A patient is admitted with new-onset atrial fibrillation. The patient has hypertension (x 22 years) as the only other medical condition. The hospital course was uncomplicated as the patient was Cardioverted with IV meds in the ED and placed on appropriate medication and stabilized. After two days, she was discharged home. Your office followed the TCM flow correctly and you are seeing the patient in your office on day 5 after discharge. The discharge summary is in the record and you review and make note of such (meds, Echo, and CXR results). The patient has no complaints.
