Trends in heart rate, body temperature, Trop-I, and CRP during hospitalization.
Trop-I and CRP levels were obtained on days 1,3,4,6,7,9, while CRP was obtained also on days 10 and 13. As Trop-I levels lower than 5 ng/L are undetectable, a value of 0 was assigned when the laboratory result was unmeasurable on day 9. Heart rate and temperature were measured daily. Day 1 represents the patient's admission to our hospital, while on day 14 he was discharged.
