Narrative:

Female passenger, age 59, traveling with her husband, has chest pains while we were landing in dfw. Husband got attention of closest flight attendant. She was already in jump seat for landing. She approached passenger and relayed information to me. I checked on her, and was advised by her husband that she was having chest pains and he gave her nitroglycerin tablet. She was wearing a nitroglycerin patch due to previous congestive heart failure. I administered oxygen, and advised captain that we needed paramedics to meet flight. After arrival and deplaning, paramedics boarded and took over. Passenger was transported to hospital in dfw.
