Today's Case
A 65-year-old male with a history of cigarette smoking and essential hypertension presents with chest pain that began 4 hours earlier when he was walking from his office to his car, a distance of two city blocks. The pain improved after he arrived at his car but has persisted since then. It worsened significantly in intensity when he attempted to walk his dog after dinner, and this prompted him to seek medical attention at the emergency department of his local hospital.
