Personal Information

Name: Mrs. Paula Johnson

Age: 65 years old

Gender: Female

Description

Mrs. Paula Johnson is a 65-year-old white woman with a previous history of a sedentary lifestyle, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes mellitus type II. She is a heavy smoker since she was 20 years old. She was brought to the emergency room because her family found her unresponsive on the floor. She was diaphoretic. Her family thought she had her diabetes decompensated. Mrs. Johnsonâs daughter indicated her mother was complaining of nausea and epigastric pain the day before. Also, her blood pressure was high.

On the physical examination we found:

Integumentary system: Profuse diaphoresis, coldness, and pallor

Respiratory system: Tachypnea

Cardiovascular system: Weak pulse, tachycardia, and hypotension

Lab Tests

Complete blood count (CBC)

Cardiac enzymes

Glucose level

Lipid panel

EKG

Cardiac catheterization

Diagnosis

Silent myocardial infarction

Other Diagnoses

Essential hypertension

Dyslipidemia

Diabetes mellitus

Supporting Material

Mrs. Johnson has been diagnosed with silent myocardial infarction. As we learned last module, the first step in pathophysiology is observation of noticeable changes, but what do we do when the patient does not outwardly experience symptoms? Chest pain is a scary symptom that usually alerts the physician and patient. However, if the patient or the physician is not alerted, the medical practitioner has to dig deeper to understand the cause or set of causes that contribute to the condition.

What are your initial reactions related to the case?

What is a heart attack?

Considering Mrs. Johnsonâs case, why does she have an increased risk of having a heart attack?

What is tissue perfusion? Which of the patientâs conditions can alter tissue perfusion? How?
