Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Chest pain, diaphoresis and syncope with loss of consciousness.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
27 and 24 days, respectively, before subject treatment on 05/28/16, patient had been admitted and then seen in the Emergency Room; during those two encounters, patient had undergone serial Troponin, insignificant EKG, CXR, CT chest and 12+ minute nuclear stress test with no diagnostic findings. During subject Emergency Room visit on 05/28/16, additional EKG and serial Troponin and work-up confirmed prior diagnosis of vasovagal syncope.
