Case #1
A 65 year old female comes to the emergency room after awakening at 7:00 AM with Chest pain and SOB. Her husband is concerned that she might be having a heart attack.

Chest Pain
• Stable angina pectoris – 11 percent of chest pain episodes
• Unstable angina or myocardial infarction– 1.5 percent of chest pain episodes

What are risk factors you would ask about for cardiac etiologies
for chest pain?• Smoking• Family history• Hyperlipidemia • Left ventricular hypertrophy• Hypertension• Cocaine• Age• Past History

What characteristics of the chest pain might make you more
concerned for cardiac chest pain?• Location• Associated Symptoms• Quality• Chronology• Onset
• Duration• Intensity• Exacerbating• Relieving• Situation

Any exam findings that might help distinguish cardiac from non
cardiac chest pain?• General Appearance
– may suggest seriousness of symptoms.
• Vital signs – marked difference in
blood pressure between arms suggests aortic dissection
• Palpate the chest wall – Hyperesthesia may be
due to herpes zoster
• Complete cardiac examination– pericardial rub– signs of acute AI or AS – Ischemia may result in MI
murmur, S4 or S3
• Determine if breath sounds are symmetric and if wheezes, crackles or evidence of consolidation

Any tests that might help that you can do in the ER?
• EKG– ST elevation of > 1mm or new Q in 2 leads
• Sens 45%
– Above + ST depression or T-wave inversion • Sens 79%
• False positive rate = 17%

Any tests that might help that you can do in the ER?
• Troponin, CK, myoglobin– CK-MB 88-90% sensitive at 4-6 hours
– CK-MB 95-100% sensitive 8-12 hours after CP onset• 2-3% of skeletal muscle is MB fraction
• one study of 710 patients, an increase in CK-MB by > or =1.6 ng/mL at two hours compared to baseline for acute infarction
– Sensitivity - 94%
– Specificity - 92 %
– Positive predictive value - 79 %
– negative predictive value - 98 %

96 percent of acute aortic dissections can be identified based upon some combination of the following three clinical features

2. Mediastinal and/or aortic widening on chest radiograph
3. Variation in pulse and/or blood pressure between the right and left arm
