Abstract

A 46-year-old Indian man was admitted with unstable angina (Braunwald's class IIIB1)--the chest pain at rest was associated with inferolateral ischaemia on the ECG at admission. His serial total creatine kinase levels were elevated but CKMB was not detected. Serial serum troponin T levels were significantly raised suggesting the presence of significant acute myocardial injury.
