Instruction :
Jing is a 46-year-old male. He is an insurance executive who is married with two children. Jing is active in his church and plays golf on the weekends. He went to see his cardiologist because he experienced recent fatigue with chest pain on exertion. He has never smoked but he consumes 1 to 2 alcoholic drinks per day. His medical history reveals a blood cholesterol level of 260 mg%, a triglyceride level of 198 mg% and an HDL-C value of 43 mg%.  Considering his sex, age, symptoms, and risk factors, can you reason about the likelihood of Jing having coronary heart disease?

Response:
Considering his sex, Jing is male, and men are generally at greater risk of coronary artery disease. Age is also a risk factor, as getting older increases his risk of damaged arteries. Additionally, he has experienced angina, which can be a common symptom of coronary artery disease. He also has high cholesterol, and high triglyceride levels. He also consumes alcohol at high levels. All this in consideration, Jing has a good likelihood of having some degree of coronary heart disease.
