Ms. A is a 64-year-old woman, arrives at the emergency
department (ED) with expressive aphasia, left facial droop,
left-sided hemiparesis, and mild dysphagia. Her husband states that
when she awoke that morning at 0730, she stayed in bed, saying she
had a mild headache over the right temple and was feeling weak. He
went and got coffee, then thinking it was unusual for her to stay
in bed, went back to check on her. He found she was having trouble
saying words and had a left-sided facial droop. When he helped her
up from the bedside, he noticed weakness in her left hand and leg
and brought her to the ED. Her medical history includes atrial
fibrillation (Afib), hypertension (HTN), and
hyperlipidemia. A recent cardiac stress test was normal, and her
blood pressure is under good control. Ms. A is currently taking
amiodarone, amlodipine, aspirin, simvastatin, and lisinopril. The
provider suspects Ms. A is having a stroke.
