What's the big message here?
  • Mr. Raymond's young, but not too young to have coronary heart disease.
  • In the case of Prinzmetal's angina, the pain is often non-exertitional. (Caused by spasm in association with fixed vascular obstruction.)
  • His high cholesterol had a genetic basis and can be helped.
  • Learning that Mr. Raymond had an inherited hyperlipidemia paid off. We diagnosed one of his sons and should be able to help him.
  • Given the fact that Mr. Raymond's wife has a normal cholesterol and one of their two sons has the same condition as Mr. Raymond, what can be said about the mode of transmission?
Hey, is this some kind of fun or what?                 It's quiz time!
