Abstract
A 27-year-old Chinese woman was admitted for an episode of prolonged chest pain, accompanied by sweating and nausea for 5 h. Her blood pressure was 110/70 mm Hg symmetrical over both arms and her pulse was 70 beats/min. Her physical examination was normal. The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with ST-segment elevation in leads V1–V5. The laboratory data revealed a cardiac troponin I of 0.9 ng/ml (relative index < 0.02 ng/ml), a creatine kinase MB of 146.0 ng/ml (relative index < 7.0 ng/ml), and a myoglobin of 682.0 ng/ml (relative index < 112.0 ng/ml).
