I think the following fact should be noted. (It is sort of a trick question of a type that we medical students commonly ask each other.) Q: What is the most frequent initial symptom of Coronary Heart Disease (aka Ischemic Heart disease)? A: Sudden death (with no prodomal symptoms whatsoever.) (Even among those with symptomatic angina, if you stick a 24hr recorder on them, you find 3/4 of their attacks are painless and unnoticed) -- Craig Werner !philabs!aecom!werner "Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity."
