My wife was told that 55% of people who attend hospitals with chest pain that no cardiac cause is found.
I had two stress ECG's and a stress echocardiogram each indicated possible blocked arteries but angiograms showed them to be false positives.

Sorry - don't want to frighten you, but it was echo that showed that my husband had a major heart problem, dialated cardiomyopathy, or heart failure, but a plain chest x-ray would have showed that up as well, as his was soooo serious, he was refered for immediate angiogram, which amazingly enough showed that he did not have blocked arteries, or even partly blocked arteries, he falls into a small group that don't have any blockages.
His they think was caused by a virus, but nothing they have been able to put their fingers on, he wasn't even really sick but just off right up until he collapsed at home in full on congestive heart failure, a couple of weeks previous had been running up and down building site 4 stories of stairs clearing our a flooded building.
