Case Study: Norman, a 57-year-old male, experienced chest pain and shortness of breath after walking up two flights of stairs. The pain went away after a few minutes, but it scared him enough to visit his physician the next day. Norman is about 20% overweight and a moderate smoker. His father had a heart attack at age 65, but then lived another 10 years. Norman’s blood pressure at the exam was 135/90. Blood test results include:
Total cholesterol 230
LDL 135
Triglycerides 165
HDL 35
An EKG is normal, but a stress test reveals signs of ischemia during exercise. Norman is diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD).
