Ms. Christin is an 80-year-old female who presented to an outside hospital with chest pain and shortness of breath. She took one sublingual Nitroglycerin without relief, followed by two more without relief and was then treated with intravenous Lasix, morphine, and Nitroglycerin which resulted in resolution of her pain. Her medical history includes hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, angina, Paget's disease, anemia, and osteoarthritis. An EKG at the hospital showed anterolateral ST depression and her enzymes were negative, ruling out myocardial infarction. Her cardiac symptomatology began in the fall of 1999 and evaluation showed high cholesterol with an LDL 141, EKG with LVH and nonspecific T wave flattening, and a Thallium stress test that was stopped secondary to shortness of breath. Upon admission to Ster Hospital for evaluation of her angina, her laboratory values were consistent with a myocardial infarction and her peak CK was 459 with an MB of 28.7. Her discharge medications include Aspirin 81 mg daily, iron 300 mg three times a day, Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily, Lisinopril 5 mg daily, multivitamin one daily, Relafen 500 mg orally a day, Imdur 60 mg orally a day, Plavix 75 mg daily for 29 days, Lipitor 40 mg daily, Atenolol 25 mg orally a day, and magnesium oxide 420 mg daily. Follow-up with Dr. Porter Luckenbaugh in SH Cardiovascular Group on January at 1:00 p.m. and with Dr. Sammy Kleindienst in the Greenetons Opi Hospital Hematology Clinic.
