A 43-year-old man with the diagnosis of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries presented with one-block exertional dyspnea; increasing fatigue; and occasional sharp, fleeting chest pains. He had an unremarkable childhood until the onset of palpitations when he was 10 years old. At 17 years, he began experiencing chest ache symptoms. At 18 years, he underwent cardiac catheterization and was diagnosed with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. No coronary artery stenosis was found. He continued to experience occasional sharp, fleeting chest pains, which were self-resolved. He was asymptomatic during heavy physical activity while working as a roofer. Pertinent medical history included polysubstance abuse with cocaine, methamphetamines, marijuana, and alcohol. On physical examination, he was normotensive. He had a laterally displaced cardiac impulse and a grade 3/6 holosystolic murmur heard over the precordium. His carotid pulses were normal.
