title: Which exercise test to use for chest pain from an anomalous coronary artery.
abstract: Chest pain in children and young people is a frequent cause of contact to general practitioners and outpatient clinics. However, in children, chest pain is typically benign and self-limiting; it is not usually a manifestation of organic disease, and it is very rarely of cardiac origin. The cause of chest pain often remains undiagnosed. There are a number of chronic conditions known to be associated with recurrent chest pain. Symptoms and signs include crushing left-sided precordial pain, pain radiating to the left arm or the jaw, pain onset with exercise and subsiding at rest (with asthma excluded), and an abnormal cardiovascular examination suggests referral for cardiac evaluation. We here report a case of stable angina pectoris in the young.
