Chronic myocardial ischemia often presents with a fairly typical history, but patients can present atypical chest pain or referred to less-typical location like the jaw, stomach, back. Sometimes describe symptoms usually not attributed heart disease, indigestion feeling cold and clammy, in presence absence of pain. One important clue underlying coronary artery disease is appearance that are induced by effort relieved rest. This paper describes two unusual presentations whose main symptom was...
