Several hours later, K.Z. returns from his catheterization
The catheterization report shows 90% occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, 90% occlusion of the distal LAD, 70% to 80% occlusion of the distal right coronary artery (RCA), an old apical infarct, and an ejection fraction (EF) of 37%. About an hour after the procedure is finished, you perform a brief physical assessment and note a grade III/VI systolic ejection murmur at the cardiac apex, crackles bilaterally in the lung bases, and trace pitting edema of his feet and ankles. Except for the soft systolic murmur, these findings were not present before the catheterization. What is your evaluation of the catheterization results? Explain the significance of having an EF of 37%. What problem do the changes in assessment findings suggest to you? What led you to your conclusion? List five actions you should take as a result of your evaluation of the assessment, and state your rationales.
