The patient is an 83-year-old man with a history of CAD, s/p MI in 1973, s/p CABG x3, T2DM, and hypertension who was admitted with chest pressure and feeling numb in his arms and legs and around his head. He took some SL nitro but does not remember if it helped and denies shortness of breath. His EKG was A-paced and unchanged from March, his CXR had no acute process, and his cardiac enzymes were negative. His stress test from March 2005 revealed a small to medium sized region of myocardial scar/hibernation in the distribution of the PDA coronary artery and no evidence of stress induced ischemia at a low cardiac workload. He went into V-paced rhythm when given dobutamine and the test was submaximal with max HR 98 (77% predicted). No reversible ischemia was seen. He was continued on B-blocker, statin, and persantine, with no aspirin since history of GIB with it, and monitored on telemetry without any events. He also had an adenosine MIBI on 2/8/05 with results as above. Held oral hypoglycemic while in house. Covered with SSI regular qac. His PM was evaluated by EP to r/o pAF and EP interrogation revealed no mode shifts. He was weaned O2 to sat>93%, his creatinine remained at baseline, he avoided aspirin and was continued on PPI, was covered with SSI regular qac, and was given a PT consult.
