Update on my mother:

She was felled by really nasty heartburn. Score!

Stress test came back fine. Her heart is healthy. Upper GI revealed a small hiatal (sp?) hernia and slight inflammation of the stomach lining, most likely caused by too much acid. They've taken her off Plavix and will revisit it in a couple of months. She's rejoicing by eating the non-cardiac diet (including fried chicken and pecan pie).
