,iHuman Florence Blackman Case Study – Week 7 (6512)
Intermittent Squeezing Chest Pain in a 49-Year-Old Patient
Comprehensive HPI, Physical Examination, Differential Diagnosis, Diagnostics, and
Management Plan (2025/2026 Edition)
Case Overview
Florence Blackman is a 49-year-old patient presenting with intermittent squeezing chest pain.
This iHuman case is designed to evaluate the student’s ability to perform a focused
cardiovascular assessment, identify potentially life-threatening causes of chest pain, prioritize
differential diagnoses, order appropriate diagnostic studies, and develop a safe evidence-based
management plan. The case emphasizes advanced clinical reasoning, rapid identification of
cardiac emergencies, and patient education.
The primary learning goal is differentiating cardiac chest pain from pulmonary, gastrointestinal,
musculoskeletal, and anxiety-related causes while recognizing red-flag symptoms requiring
immediate intervention.
Comprehensive History of Present Illness (HPI)
The History of Present Illness is the most critical section of this case because chest pain may
indicate acute coronary syndrome (ACS), myocardial infarction (MI), pulmonary embolism, or
other emergent disorders.
A complete OLDCARTS assessment should be obtained.
Chief Complaint
I’ve been having squeezing chest pain on and off for several days.
OLDCARTS Assessment
Onset
• Pain began approximately several days ago.
• Episodes occur intermittently.
• Symptoms may worsen with activity or emotional stress.

• Physical exertion
• Climbing stairs
• Emotional stress
• Cold weather
Relieving Factors
• Rest
• Sitting quietly
• Possibly nitroglycerin if previously prescribed
Timing
• Intermittent pattern
, • Increasing frequency may indicate unstable angina
Severity
• Typically rated 6–8/10 during episodes
Associated Symptoms
Important associated findings include:
• Shortness of breath
• Diaphoresis
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Palpitations
• Dizziness
• Anxiety
• Weakness
The provider must specifically ask about:

• Leg swelling
Past Medical History (PMH)
