Mrs. Darsana was sitting at a family cookout at approximately 2:00 p.m. when she
experienced what she later describes to the nurse as “nausea with some
heartburn.” Assuming the discomfort was because of something she ate, she
dismissed the discomfort and took Tums. After about two hours, she explains,
“My heartburn was not much better and it was now more of a dull pain that
seemed to spread to my shoulders. I also noticed that I was a little short of
breath.” Mrs. Darsana told her son what she was feeling. Concerned, her son
called emergency medical services.At the hospital, emergency medical personnel
established an intravenous access. Mrs. Darsana was given four children’s
chewable aspirins and three sublingual nitroglycerin tablets without relief of her
chest pain. She was placed on oxygen 2 liters via nasal cannula. Upon arrival in
the emergency department, Mrs. Darsana is very restless. She states, “It feels like
an elephant is sitting on my chest.” Her vital signs are blood pressure 160/84,
pulse 118, respiratory rate 28, and temperature 99.38F (37.48C). Her oxygen
saturation is 98% on 2 liters of oxygen. A 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG)
shows sinus tachycardia with a heart rate of 120 beats per minute. An occasional
premature ventricular contraction (PVC), T wave inversion, and ST segment
elevation are noted. A chest X-ray is within normal limits with no signs of
pulmonary edema. Mrs. Darsana’s laboratory results include potassium (K1) 4.0
mEq/L, magnesium (Mg) 1.9 mg/dL, total creatine kinase (CK) 157 μ/L, CK-MB 7.6
ng/mL, relative index 4.8%, and troponin I 2.8 ng/mL. Her stool tests negative for
occult blood.
