Cardiology - Report 5

Cardiology

TAPE 8A, Report 5

CHART NOTE

This 19-year-old male presented with an acute onset of left-sided chest pain.  His electrocardiogram done in the office today is entirely within normal limits, and there is no suggestion of pericarditis on the ECG.

The physical exam shows no rub and no pathologic heart sounds.  I would suspect that he has no organic heart disease.

I have recommended that he take the rest of the week off from work and return for a followup treadmill stress test.  If this is normal and he is symptom-free, he may return to work.

IMPRESSION
Chest pain, probably musculoskeletal in origin.
