On 15 July 2017, she was admitted with the fore mentioned diagnosis for which angioplasty was repeated second time though it was done firstly in 2008. Postoperative recovery was excellent without any complications; however, feeling anxious about her coping mechanisms after discharge.
Ms Martin is a bachelor, resides in own house and financially independent. She has intermittent contact with family members and depend on meals on wheels service. Her medical history includes hypertension, hyper cholesterolemia, CAD for which medication compliance is extremely crucial. Her regular medication list is attached to this letter. She is overweight, feels anxious about her health issues.
In view of her condition, regular home visits are very essential to meet her needs. Frequent monitoring by the dietician is important to maintain healthy and fat free diet as well as regular light exercises to be followed.
