Case Presentation
A 62-year-old Hispanic woman with atypical chest pain and mild shortness of breath presents to a cardiologist as a new patient. She is noted to have recurring, fleeting, dull, and nonradiating pain over the central chest, lasting 5-10 minutes per episode. The episodes appear to be brought about by high-stress environments, and the patient reports being under increased stress due to family illness and concerns about COVID.
The patient has a family history of heart disease; her father died of myocardial infarction (MI) at age 53 years. Her medical history is significant for high cholesterol and hypertension
