Cardiology Examination Note & History Template: ECG, NYHA & Risk Scores
Points Clés Cliniques
- Four primary cardinal symptoms must be systematically evaluated: chest discomfort, dyspnea (NYHA I-IV), palpitations, and presyncope/syncope.
- Physical examination requires strict documentation of heart sounds (S1, S2, S3/S4), murmurs with grade and radiation, jugular venous distension, and peripheral edema.
- ClinIQ integrates automated risk score engines: HEART, TIMI, CHA2DS2-VASc, and HAS-BLED with direct EHR export.
