When I was a resident, an attending once told me if you order an EKG, you have to order a troponin as well. He wasn't very good.

Love Dr. Mattu. SOCRATES is good as well. S-ite O-nset C-haracter R-adiation A-ssociated symptoms T-ime at onset (morning/evening/variation/associated with activity) E-xacerbating/Relieving factors S-everity (x/10)

Facile analysis. Getting a history from a patient is fraught with delay , misinformation, frustration. Especially when in;pain Add 15 minutes to the interaction. Who is going to pay for this?

there's only four that have the highest predictive value for ruling in for acs so what we've done is we've taken these four and we use these four in our 14 hospital network around the state of maryland what are the four factors that have the highest predictive value for ruling in for acs - chest pain plus diaphoresis - chest pain that worsens with exertion - chest pain that radiates and by the way bilateral radiation is the worst of all followed by radiation to the right side least concerning is radiation to the left side all right but we don't complicate things we just say if it radiates in either direction all right and then - chest pain with vomiting not nausea but vomiting the descriptors tightness squeezing pressure they've all been shown to be non-specific associated shortness of breath has been shown to be non-specific associated nausea or lightheadedness non-specific ------- the only four that have the highest predictive value are - chest pain with diaphrasis ? - chest pain with vomiting ? - chest pain that worsens with exertion ? - chest pain that radiates in either direction ?

Scary lecture... admit everyone w a chest

Is it possible for the onset of MI to be while sitting still ? Yes While running. Yes. While defecating Yes. While having sex. Yes. Then why waste your time charting the onset ? It makes no difference.
