The main character of this case is Denise, who we first meet in the early morning hours as she wakes up in a cold sweat, gasping for breath. But it is her husband, Jeremy, who has been diagnosed with heart disease, not her. What's going on? In this interrupted case study, in which the other main character is Denise's heart (who we get to know through a series of "interior" monologues), students learn about the risk factors, symptoms, and consequences of a heart attack. The case is suitable for a course in pathophysiology, first year nursing, enzymology, advanced biology or anatomy, or nutrition.

- Abstract:
-
This case study is designed to integrate important aspects of the nervous and muscular system portions of an anatomy and physiology course. Students follow the story of "Kathy," whose symptoms involve both sensory and motor components of the nervous system. The students must recognize the key factors of nerve transmission, examine where there could be interruption, and recognize how the interruption would affect body function. They also need to identify the role that the nervous system plays in muscular function. Through the case, students explore the relationship between both body systems, consider how one affects the other, and discover how function can be affected by external factors.

When "Jeff," a fictionalized drug representative, is placed on the Vioxx® account in 2001, he finds himself pulled between sales and science as he struggles to reconcile three original documents: a Merck marketing pamphlet, a graph from a scientific journal, and a confidential internal bulletin. As students work through the case, they must interpret scientific data, consider ethical issues related to the pharmaceutical industry, and learn why Vioxx, a wonder drug, was taken off the market. This interrupted case is appropriate for advanced high school students and first-year college science majors and non-majors.
