Case Report: Elderly Man with Post Myocardial Infarction Fatigue

An 83-year-old man with a history of hypertension presents to the emergency department with fatigue 2  weeks after an international hospitalization where he was medically managed for a myocardial infarction (MI). His vitals and physical examination were within normal limits; however, 12-lead electrocardiogram demonstrated evidence of anterolateral MI (Figure 1). Laboratory results were notable for a N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide of 3020 pg/mL and high-sensitivity troponins 2 h apart of 558 ng/L and 541 ng/L.
