Part 1
DF is a 49-year-old African American man with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia who presents to your clinic complaining of chest pain that occurred several
times over the past few weeks. DF describes his chest pain as “a heaviness.” He states that the discomfort first occurred while he was carrying groceries up to his third-floor apartment. Later, he experienced the same heavy sensation while raking leaves and again while carrying some boxes. The pain was located in the substernal area and radiated to his neck. The pain resolved after about 5 minutes of rest.
