24
Q

Bleching, bad taste in mouth, dysphagia HPI assocaited sx?

A

Esophageal dz

25
Q

Vomiting HPI assocaited sx?

A

MI or GI

26
Q

Diaphoresis HPI associated sx?

A

MI, possibly esophageal dz

27
Q

Syncope HPI associated sx?

A

dissection, PE, AS, ruptured AAA

28
Q

Near syncope HPI associated sx?

A

MI

29
Q

Fatigue HPI associated sx?

A

MI in elderly

30
Q

HPI region/location

A

larger areas of discomfort more likely ischemic etiolgoy

31
Q

T/F severity is useful in predictor for presence of CAD?

A

False, not useful predictor

32
Q

Whats the timing of HPI, Abrupt onset with greatest intensity in beginning

A

PTX, dissection, acute P

33
Q

Whats the timing of HPI, gradual increasing onset overtime

A

Ischemic

34
Q

Whats the timing of HPI, crescendo pattern

A

esophageal dz

35
Q

Whats the timing of HPI, lasts for seconds or constant over weeks

A

not related to ischemic

36
Q

Whats the timing of HPI, circadian rhythm?

A

correlating with increase sympathetic tone- more likely ischemia

37
Q

What are PE that point towards ACS?

A
  • S3 or S4
  • Systolic BP <80 mm/Hg
  • Crackles on auscultation
38
Q

T/F Absence of S3 or S4, Systolic BP <80 mm/Hg, Crackles on auscultation exclude ACS

A

False!! it does not exclude ACS

39
Q

if the ECG shows no signs and cp suspicious for CAD, what should you do?

A
  • get cardiac biomarkers to eval for non-ST elevation MI
  • consider c-xray if they have resp disease
40
Q

what is the standard of care in the ED?

A

Only an initial trop if >3 hours from onset
If under 3 hours need a second one an hour later

41
Q

outpt troponin for pt with sx suggestive of acute coronary syndrone is?

A

transfer for eval w/o troponin testing

42
Q

is it reasonable to use single troponin test to exclude acute MI?

A

Only with asymptomatic patients whose symptoms resolved at least 12 hours prior, so long as they have no high-risk features and a normal electrocardiogram.

43
Q

if a pt is better with nitro, can they go home?

A

NOOO
