AB A  67-year-old  woman  presents  to  the  emergency  department  (ED)  by  ambulance  with  a  3-hour  history  of  increasing  dyspnea  associated  with  chest  pain.  She  has  a  history  of  coronary  artery  disease,  hypertension,  and  hyperlipidemia,  but  no  known  allergies.  Her  medications  include  atenolol,  low-dose  aspirin,  atorvastatin,  acetaminophen  with  codeine,  and  nitroglycerin  spray  as  needed.
