This 54-year-old female patient with a history of pulmonary emboli in 1971 and 1988 presented with four days of pleuritic chest pain and left arm heaviness. Her past medical history includes dysfunctional uterine bleeding, iron deficiency anemia, lumbosacral disc disease, and a status post laminectomy three times. In July of 1994, she developed the acute onset of intermittent chest pressure and left arm heaviness, associated with night sweats, which progressed to constant and was unrelieved with two Advils. She had a History of Strep Pharyngitis in August of 1994, which was treated with Penicillin, and her medication on admission was Motrin prn. She had no known drug allergies and her past medical history was as pertinent to her admission. After a thrombotic workup, with the exception of the Russell viper venom which was pending at the time of dictation, all tests returned within normal limits. A chest X-ray, VQ scan, and EKG were performed with the VQ scan read as intermediate probability and the EKG revealing a sinus bradycardia at 54 with normal axis and intervals. A pulmonary arteriogram was performed on hospital day number two which revealed a mean RA pressure of 7 mm of mercury, a mean RV pressure of 12 mm of mercury, and no filling defects to suggest a pulmonary embolus. She received Heparin and was started on Naprosyn at 500 mg p.o. b.i.d. on hospital day number two. Coumadin therapy was discussed and the patient was discharged to home on Naprosyn 500 mg p.o. b.i.d. with meals and was to follow up with Dr. Owen Albertine on November, 1994 at 1:30 p.m.
