Excerpt

An 85-year-old Ukrainian male presented with a 3-day history of chest pain radiating to the back in the area of the scapula. The chest pain worsened with exertion, breathing movements, and minimal postural changes. Vital signs and physical examination were unremarkable. Chest x-ray, ECG, and cardiac biomarkers showed no abnormalities. …
