Figure 3. Changes in plasma myocardial and inflammatory biomarker levels during admission. Day 1 denotes percutaneous coronary intervention performed at 9: 00 a.m. Day 4 denotes the diagnosis of papillary muscle rupture, for which surgical mitral valve replacement was performed (black arrow). CK – creatinine kinase; CKMB – creatinine kinase-MB fraction; CRP – C-reactive protein; NLR – neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
