Positive cardiac markers. A 69-year-old man presenting after a prolonged episode of crushing chest pain accompanied by shortness of breath. The electrocardiogram showed negative T waves over the lateral leads, and initial high-sensitive troponins were low-positive (24 ng/L). Coronary CTA (A–C) demonstrated non-obstructive plaque, particularly around the LAD-diagonal bifurcation. Invasive angiography (D and E), performed after a 25% rise in troponins, confirmed the computed tomography results.
