His chief complaint is a persistent, crushing chest pain that radiates to his left arm, jaw, neck, and shoulder blade.

He has a low-grade temperature, and his blood pressure is within a normal range at 130/82. He states that he smokes two packs of cigarettes a day, is overweight by 50 pounds, and has a family history of hypertension and coronary artery disease. He leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle.
