Video Summary

In this video, the case scenario discussed is about an 87-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with shortness of breath. Lab results showed rising positive troponins, but the ECG was negative for STEMI. A cardiology consult diagnosed the patient with NSTEMI, and she was admitted to the coronary care unit but opted against procedural intervention. After a smooth hospital stay, the patient was discharged on several medications, including simvastatin 15 mg at bedtime. The correct coding for this dose is low-intensity statin, according to the 2018 Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol document. This video is part of the Chest Pain MI Registry September case scenario.
