2 Figure 1 White blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and cardiac troponin T at presentation to the Emergency Department according to the adjudicated final diagnosis, acute myocardial infarction. Boxes represent interquartile ranges, while whiskers display ranges (without outliers further than 1.5 interquartile ranges from the end of the box).

3 Figure 2 (A) Receiver operating characteristic curves showing the diagnostic accuracy of cardiac troponin T, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and cardiac troponin T alone at presentation; and (B) in combination with white blood cell count, neutrophil count, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio to diagnose acute myocardial infarction in all patients.

4 Figure 3 (A) Diagnostic performance of white blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and cardiac troponin T for acute myocardial infarction in patients presenting within 3 hours after the onset of symptoms. (B) Comparison of the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve according to the time since the onset of symptoms for the 4 laboratory assays performed on blood samples obtained at presentation.
