A 55-year-old male arrives at the emergency room, complaining about vague chest pains for the past several days. A quick patient history revealed the following: a two-packs-a-day smoker since the age of 15; height of 67 inches; weight 240; lives alone and doesn't prepare meals, preferring cookies, snack foods, and diet cola; sedentary lifestyle; uses oxygen daily to relieve shortness of breath; and complains of occasional chest pains.
Given these facts, what disease process(es) do you think this individual may be experiencing?
