Int Heart J. 2023;64(4):590-595. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-076.ABSTRACTThe European Society of Cardiology recommends the 0/1-hour algorithm for risk stratification of patients with suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction as class I, level B; however, there are few reports on the long-term prognosis, resulting in a rule-out group.

A 70-year-old Japanese man with a history of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism presented to the Emergency Department of our hospital owing to weakness in his right leg.
