CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE Background In late 2010, Jean Rosenthawn, a clerical assistant, began experiencing increasing episodes of substernal chest pain and shortness of breath climbing stairs at her work. After a short time these symptoms were not always precipitated by physical exertion and sometimes occurred after heavy meals. Jean s GP ordered an exercise stress test where the ECG demonstrated sinus cardiac rhythm with infrequent premature ventricular contractions. Cardiac catheterisation then performed which revealed triple vessel disease with left ventricular hypokinesis and an ejection fraction of 40%. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery was performed were Jean was referred to cardiac rehabilitation for 12 weeks. After completing cardiac rehabilitation, Jean moved in with her daughter and family. During her last visit to her GP, team care plan was developed that included an Exercise Physiologist to support assist Jean better manage her health. Her father died from an acute myocardial infarction at age 57 years and her two older sisters have coronary artery stents. She has a 40 year history of smoking and leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. Page 1
