It is equivalent to a transient STEMI. Not much, but studies of STEMI and NonSTEMI show that about 70% of those diagnosed with STEMI have a peak troponin I above 10 ng/mL and that about 70% of those diagnosed with NonSTEMI have a peak troponin I below 10 ng/mL. Again, cath lab was not activated. Int J Cardiol. 2016;207:341–348.

Abstract 4141170: Impact of Serum 5-Hydroxytryptophan Levels on 15-Year Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients

Circulation

This study investigates the relationship between baseline 5-HTP levels and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients who have experienced ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Objective:Our Conclusion:Higher 5-HTP levels are independently associated with a reduced risk of MACE in patients after STEMI.
