Dobutamine is an acceptable alternative.

Hospital evaluation for this patient was negative for an acute coronary syndrome ( ie, CT coronary angiogram was normal — troponin was not elevated — and Echo was negative, with no sign of pericardial effusion ). CT Coronary Angiogram showed no sign of underlying coronary disease.

Cardiology admitted him for observation with plans for next-day coronary angiogram. Unfortunately, due to the patient’s abrupt exodus from the PCI center – without benefit of coronary angiogram, or echo, for example – the disposition will forever remain unknown. [1] The peak Troponin I confirmed myocardial infarction. (A

The patient was taken emergently to the cath lab for a pericardiocentesis instead of a coronary angiogram. The ED provider canceled the STEMI protocol and updated the cath lab on the finding. In the cath lab, 150 CCs of bloody fluid were drained from the pericardium.
