## Abstract Serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a highly specific marker for myocardial damage in patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI), unlike creatine kinase myocardial band fraction (CKβMB), which may be elevated in the absence of myocardial injury in patients with CRI. We studied 116 c
## Background: We determined the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) in patients with atypical clinical presentations and unexpected elevation of cardiac troponin i (ctni) levels. ## Methods and results: In 156 consecutive patients with atypical presentations for acute coronary
