A 75-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with chest pain

A 75-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with chest pain.  She says she is worried it may be a heart attack. On further questioning, she has been feeling lethargic over the last few weeks. When prompted she admits that she has also been experiencing some visual disturbance, where it feels like she is “looking through a window with water running down it”, but put this down to her new glasses prescription.
