A female patient in her 50s presented to the emergency department of her local hospital complaining of sudden chest pain and weakness that developed while showering. On questioning, the patient revealed substantial emotional stress (anxiety) at work because of unfamiliarity with new software. Her medical history was notable for hypertension and dyslipidemia. The patient was taking rosuvastatin and pantoprazole. The initial 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal (, A). Nevertheless, the patient remained symptomatic and was transferred to our hospital for further evaluation. On arrival, the patient was asymptomatic; heart rate and blood pressure were 72 beats/min and 119/65 mm Hg, respectively. The patient was afebrile and well oriented. A new ECG (9 hours after the local hospital ECG) was recorded (, B).
