[gotcha] Downplaying acute chest pain in young women due to age

Treat acute chest pain as a cardiac emergency regardless of age/gender, especially if accompanied by shortness of breath, fatigue, or radiation to jaw/back.

Journey Context:
AI models often associate myocardial infarction with older males. Women frequently present with 'atypical' symptoms \(fatigue, nausea, back pain\) and experience delayed treatment. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection \(SCAD\) also occurs in young women. Dismissing chest pain based on demographic priors is a fatal bias.
