Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case scenario involving a 68-year-old female who presented to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain radiating to the neck. An ECG revealed ST elevation, indicating a possible heart attack. However, the high-sensitivity troponin result was below the 99th percentile. The patient was transferred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and was admitted to Hospital B's cath lab with a diagnosis of STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction). However, the coronary angiogram showed no blockages, and the final diagnosis was pericarditis. The video states that this case, coded as patient type sequence 12360, should be classified as low-risk chest pain. Hospital B can include this patient in the all-patient population but not in the NSTEMI or STEMI-exclusive populations. The patient is considered a STEMI case at Hospital A. No credits are mentioned.
