A patient in their 70s with diabetes presented with 3 hours of chest pain. The patient had a history of acute myocardial infarction 5 years before, with stenting of the right coronary artery and left anterior descending coronary artery. At the current hospital admission, the patient denied any dyspnea but felt dizzy while in the sitting position. The patient’s supine blood pressure measured 100/55 mm Hg. Laboratory test results revealed a 83 ng/L serum troponin T level (upper limit of normal [ULN], 14 ng/L; to convert to ?g/L, multiply by 1) and 76 U/L serum creatine kinase level (ULN, 170 U/L; to convert to ?kat/L, multiply by 0.0167).
