AB A  45-year-old  man  began  having  chest  pressure  with  exertion  that  was  relieved  with  rest.  He  did  not  have  diabetes,  high  blood  pressure,  or  high  cholesterol  and  had  never  had  a  myocardial  infarction.  His  examination  and  resting  ECG  were  normal.  On  the  basis  of  the  testing  modalities  available,  he  was  scheduled  for  exercise  stress  testing.  After  a  positive  test,  he  underwent  coronary  angiography  that  demonstrated  a  significant  stenosis  in  the  left  coronary  artery  (Figure  48-1).  He  underwent  a  stenting  procedure  and  was  placed  on  aspirin  and  cholesterol-lowering  medication.
