Case 2 clinical and analytical evolution. Case 2 analytical evolution of cardiac necrosis markers. The patient was under mechanical ventilation until the 5^th day and between the 5^th and 7^th day under noninvasive ventilation. CK-MB: creatine kinase-myocardial band; NIV: noninvasive ventilation. In the first days in the ICU, two blood sample analyses were performed daily, which are depicted in the graph as morning () and evening (). For graphical coherence, troponin and myoglobin level scale is at a tenth of the real value.
