A 60 year old Spanish speaking woman with multiple cardiac risk factors and a two to three year history of exertional angina presented complaining of unstable chest pain. Dr. Maximo Bryum in C&O MEDICAL CENTER Clinic initiated an antianginal regimen, however the patient recently stopped taking Aspirin and her symptoms then recurred. The patient was given three sublingual Nitroglycerins after her primary M.D. was called and her pain resolved after approximately 15 minutes. On the 27 of January, 1995, the patient underwent a Dobutamine MIBBE on which she went 6 minutes and 48 seconds reaching a maximal heart rate of 154, a blood pressure of 172/82, with 2 mm ST depressions diffusely and moderate to severe reversible anterior and anteroseptal wall ischemia. Medications on admission included Atenolol 50 mg p.o. q.d., Axid 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Enteric Coated Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., Coumadin 10 mg p.o. q.h.s., Diltiazem 240 mg p.o. q.d., Lisinopril 10 mg p.o. q.d., Lopipd 600 mg p.o. q.d., Lasix 40 mg p.o. q.d., Insulin NPH 75 units sub-q q.a.m., 50 units q.p.m., Insulin Regular 25 units sub-q q.a.m., Nitroglycerin 1/150th one tablet sublingual q. 5 minutes x 3 p.r.n. chest pain, and Omeprazole 20 mg p.o. q.d. The Cardiology Team was consulted and serial CK, MB and EKG's were done, with Heparin initially started given the possibility that this was unstable angina.
