Highlights the clinical reality that frank cardiac infarction from coronary occlusion can occur without the traditional symptom of chest pain.
It is tradition to associate coronary arterial disease with pain behind the breast bone. It is also known that pain may be absent when such coronary disease, even in a gross form, has not caused injury to the myocardium. What has not received the same universal recognition is that frank cardiac infarction from coronary occlusion can be present without invoking chest pain.
