Figure 1 Temporal changes of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in viral or idiopathic acute pericarditis. In group II (solid line, squares) cTnI temporal pattern was similar to that seen in acute myocardial infarction with levels detectable for 5 to 6 days while in group I (dashed line, circles) cTnI temporal pattern was shorter (2 to 3 days). Data are expressed as means ± standard deviations from 29 patients in group I and from nine patients in group II.
