Another response:

There are none. Classic ANGINA can and does occur in people with no coronary disease.
Sometimes we find another cause -(Aortic stenosis, Hypertensive Heart Disease, etc).
Many times we find no cause for the discomfort.

DYSPNEA - can be heart, - acute or chronic. COPD, asthma -(with normal heart) -
pericardial disease, pneumothorax, and 50 other causes.

FATIGUE - has even more causes.

PALPITATIONS - even more difficult. Can represent anything from thyroid disease, to
drug ingestion. Totally non-specific complaint.

Remember - symptoms are a reflection of a patient complaint. We try to relate that to a
specific heart disease when possible. It�s very difficult, and often impossible. Before the
advent of heart catheterization there thousands told they had �Angina� - and they did by
symptom �� but they had no organic heart disease that we could identify � even after
cath.

The difficulty of cardiology is what created my life time interest and devotion to do the
best possible. Most of what we do is life changing.
