Abstract
A 49-year-old man was evaluated because of exertional chest pain of 1 month's duration that began during vigorous tennis. Initially, the pain was substernal and lasted 1 to 2 minutes. Recurrent episodes were always exercise related, though the activity might be mild, and episodes were relieved by several minutes of rest. At times, the pain radiated to the left side of the neck.
