Abstract

A 56-year-old woman presented with the primary complaint of urgency hypertension and suspected heart failure. The patient has a history of obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, both of which are key risk factors for the development of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Her medical history revealed infrequent physical activity, a high-calorie diet, and a family history of hypertension and heart disease. Physical examination and supporting tests indicated markedly elevated blood pressure, signs of heart failure, and changes in the electrocardiogram suggesting possible left ventricular hypertrophy. Genetic factors, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle played a significant role in the exacerbation of her condition. Management involving blood pressure control, heart failure therapy, and lifestyle modifications is crucial to reduce the risk of further cardiovascular complications. This article aims to discuss the relationship between obesity, sedentary behavior, genetic predisposition, and the development of hypertension and heart failure in older women. Both medical and non-medical histories were explored to determine the involved risk factors, followed by two home visits to further assess and identify additional risk factors. This case report highlights the role of the family medicine approach, where the interaction of biopsychosocial variables necessitates holistic and comprehensive therapeutic.

Abstract

Background: Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that can progress to serious complications, particularly in patients with multiple comorbidities. This case report discusses a 60-year-old male with cellulitis of the left cruris, accompanied by type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Case Presentation: The patient presented with redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the left lower limb, along with systemic symptoms such as fever and fatigue. His medical history revealed poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, exacerbated by obesity. Further assessment indicated inadequate health knowledge and unhealthy lifestyle habits, including poor dietary choices and a lack of physical activity. Laboratory findings showed elevated blood glucose levels, dyslipidemia, and markers of inflammation. The patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics, glycemic control therapy, antihypertensive medication, and supportive care. The role of the family is essential in supporting the success of long-term therapy. Discussion: Cellulitis in patients with multiple metabolic disorders poses a higher risk of complications, including recurrent infections, delayed wound healing, and sepsis. Poor health literacy and unhealthy lifestyle habits further contribute to disease progression. Comprehensive management involving antibiotic therapy, metabolic control, patient education, and lifestyle modifications is essential for improving clinical outcomes. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to managing cellulitis in patients with multiple comorbidities. Addressing underlying risk factors, including inadequate health knowledge and unhealthy lifestyles, is crucial to preventing recurrence and complications.
