A 43-year-old man presents to his internist with reports of a sharp mid-sternal chest pain that occurs with exertion. An exercise test on a treadmill is ordered and performed. He exercises for 10 minutes and stops for leg pain. Three minutes after stopping, his heart rate suddenly decreases. An ECG was obtained.
