4. Part 1
A 57 year-old male lorry driver, presented to his local emergency department (ER) with a 20-minute episode of
diaphoresis and chest pain. The chest pain was central, radiating to the left arm and crushing in nature.
The pain settled promptly following 300 mg aspirin orally and 800 mcg glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) (Angeside)
spray sublingually administered by paramedics in the community. He smoked 20 cigarettes daily (38 pack
years) but was not aware of any other cardiovascular risk factors. On examination he appeared comfortable and
was able to complete sentences fully. There were no heart murmurs present on cardiac auscultation. Blood
pressure was 180/105 mmHg, heart rate was 83 bpm and regular, oxygen saturation was 97%.

Report
A - Acute coronary syndrome Although the presentation could be attributable to any of the
above differential diagnoses, the most likely aetiology given the clinical picture and risk
factors is one of cardiac ischemia. Risk factors include gender, smoking status and age
making the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome the most likely one. The broad
differential diagnosis in patients presenting with chest pain has been discussed extensively
in the medical literature.

intensity whilst waiting in the emergency department. Now, he
described the pain as though “an elephant is sitting on his chest”.
The nurse has already done an ECG by the time you were called to
see him.

10. Importance of History Taking
Explenation by a case Report
A. Administer intravenous morphine
B. Increase GTN dose
C. Observe as no new significant changes
D. Proceed to coronary angiography
E. Thrombolyse with alteplase

Lecturer; Sarbaz M. Abdalla
11. - Proceed to coronary angiography The ECG shows ST
elevation in leads V2-V6 and confirms an anterolateral STEMI,
which suggests a completely occluded LAD.
- According to guidance, if the patient can undergo coronary
angiography within 120 minutes from the onset of chest pain,
then this represents the optimal management. If it is not
possible to undergo coronary angiography and potentially
percutaneous intervention within 2 hours, then thrombolysis
is considered an acceptable alternative.
- GTN and morphine administration can be considered in
parallel but they do not have a prognostic benefit.
