T2  - Patient Management in the Telemetry/Cardiac Step-Down Unit: A Case-Based Approach
AB  - A  75-year-old  man  presented  to  the  emergency  department  (ED)  with  the  complaint  of  dizziness  for  the  past  week.  He  denied  any  chest  pain,  shortness  of  breath,  tinnitus,  hearing  loss,  or  syncope.  He  has  a  medical  history  of  hypertension,  diabetes  mellitus,  and  glaucoma.  His  medications  included  aspirin,  pravastatin,  amlodipine,  hydrochlorothiazide,  carvedilol,  and  timolol  eye  drops.  His  dose  of  carvedilol  was  increased  from  6.25  to  12.5  mg  last  week  by  his  primary  physician.  He  denied  any  toxic  habits.  On  physical  examination  in  the  ED,  he  was  vitally  stable  with  no  significant  findings.  Initial  ECG  is  shown  in  Figure  2.1.1.  All  prior  ECGs  showed  normal  sinus  rhythm.  CT  of  the  head  showed  no  abnormality.  The  patient  was  transferred  to  the  telemetry  floor  where  carvedilol  was  kept  on  hold.  How  would  you  manage  this  patient?
