First, the patient is already 58 years old which predisposes the patient to developing metabolic syndrome (hyperglycemia, obesity, hyperlipidemia, etc.). The patient might be obese and with symptoms of easy fatigability and an alleged heartburn (that can possibly be cardiovascular symptoms congruent with a myocardial infarction), then a probable coronary artery disease is considered. 

Laboratory work-up for a suspected coronary artery disease is (1) a 12-L ECG to determine if there is an infarction (non-specific ECG changes or ST segment elevations), and (2) Troponin I, a cardiac biomarker for necrosis. If ECG results are normal then the patient is subjected to a stress test wherein the patient is undergoing an ECG while running on a treadmill to increase myocardial workload and trigger ischemia, if any.

"One of the two major systems that are affected by the stress response is the ____________, which results in increased productio
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is the endocrine system.

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system are the two prime systems that take part in the stress response.  

At the time of acute or chronic stress, the endocrine system first makes the hypothalamus to discharge CRH or corticotropin-releasing hormone into the bloodstream. The release of CRH further makes the anterior pituitary to discharge ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone into the blood. This further stimulates the adrenal cortex to discharge cortisol, that is, one of the glucocorticoid hormone into the bloodstream.  

The cortisol finally makes the organs and tissues present within the body to effectively cope up with the initial stress stimulus.
