TI  - ST Elevations and Elevated Cardiac Enzymes Not Always a STEMI: Two Case Reports.
PG  - 47-50
AB  - Chest pain is a common complaint in the emergency department (ED). Besides a 
      careful history and physical exam; electrocardiogram, laboratory tests and 
      imaging studies are widely available diagnostic tests that are used for patient 
      assessment. When ST elevation and elevated cardiac enzymes are present the most 
      likely diagnosis are ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or myocarditis. 
      In this case report we present two low risk patients for major adverse cardiac 
      event with ST elevation and elevated cardiac enzymes and how a careful risk 
      assessment and detailed electrocardiogram evaluation could help differentiating 
      between these two diagnoses.
