Debating getting a different doctor. What do you guys think?
Here's the summation if the patient's visit:
"You saw [doctor's name] on [date]. The following issues were addressed: Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft of native heart without angina pectoris, Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, Chronic anticoagulation, and Chronic diastolic heart failure (CMS-HCC)."
Blood pressure 138/84
Weight 246 lb
Temperature 97.7 F
Oxygen Saturation 95%
BMI 35.30
Height 5' 10"
Pulse 66
AmLODIPine 5 MG 1 daily
Apixaban 5 MG 1 daily
ASPIRIN LOW DOSE 81 MG 1 daily
Lisinopril 40 MG 1 daily
Potassium chloride Cry's 10 MEQ 2 2x/day
Furosemide 80 MG 1.5 tablets daily
Prescribed statin but not taking it because of side effects.
Why does it say "Chronic anticoagulation" under "issues addressed" but they are prescribing meds that are anticoagulants?
The heart surgeon said his heart was in good shape and strong, there is confusion as to why the new doctor (closer to home) put in the chart "Chronic diastolic heart failure".
Any thoughts?

I suggest you feed your information to Alter AI and let it analyze it. Keep asking clarifying questions.
My big question off the bat would be why all those meds when the blood pressure is only slightly elevated? And why not tell patient to lose weight instead of saddling them with all that Pharma? Alter.systems will know how to ask a lot more questions from you, and answer anything you ask. Waist to height ratio, for example. Good luck!
