Video Summary

In this video summary, an 84-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension, high cholesterol, and a previous stent placement experienced chest pain, nausea, and shortness of breath. She was taken to the emergency department (ED) after her son called 911. An electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed, which revealed a positive ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The ED physician requested a repeat ECG and contacted the on-call cardiologist. The patient was transferred to the cardiac cath lab where it was determined that she had Taketsubo syndrome rather than a true STEMI. As a result, the patient is not included in the chest pain MI registry.
