Table 1. Lab values (normal range) and patient values.
*Troponin measurement repeated due to initial high reading of 272. Repeated at the two- and four-hour mark to confirm cardiac presentation.
ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; HLD, high-density lipoproteins
