Clinical scenarios indicating a moderate risk of myocardial infarction in patients with normal ECGs

Scenario 1: Typical cardiac pain in a patient over 40 years old where the pain is not reproduced by palpation, is not stabbing in nature and does not radiate atypically.
Scenario 2: A history of anginal pain lasting longer than one hour that was either worse than usual angina pain or as bad as the pain of a previous AMI.
