A total 32 group had elevated (>3 cells/mL) relation early single-episode chest pain. Patients normal counts. interval between pain episode elevation significantly shorter for than troponin I. No correlation found 2 markers. Interestingly, subgroup initially I levels high counts, thus allowing diagnosis in...
