UNUSUAL TOWERING ELEVATION OF TROPONIN I AFTER ST-ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND INTENSIVE MONITORING WITH ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY POST-PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION: A CASE REPORT

Unusual towering elevation of troponin I after ST-elevation myocardial infarction and intensive monitoring with echocardiography post-percutaneous coronary intervention: a case report
