His is otherwise asymptomatic, while his medical history and family histories are unremarkable.
He is not on any medications, does not smoke, and only drinks socially. There is no history of substance abuse.
His full blood count, random capillary glucose, serum electrolytes, and chest x-ray are normal, as are serial ECGs.
