Carl is a 54 years old male, admitted to the ward post angiogram. He presented to the emergency department in the early hours of the morning following sudden onset of chest pain. He has no previous cardiac history and this is the first presentation to the hospital with chest pain. Apparently his father died from myocardial infarction (MI) at the same age so he is very anxious.
