Biochemical alteration on the myocardial necrosis markers (CKMB mass, troponin T or I and CPK), with the appearance of enzymatic curve, characterizing myocardial injury or 5. Pulmonary Edema; or 6. Angina associated to murmur of mitral regurgitation; or 7. Angina with heart sound to cardiac auscultation or throes; or 8. Angina with hypotension;
