Parma, Italy - Authors of a new, prospective, multicenter study say their research is the first to clearly show a link between elevated creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) post-PCI and increased risk of ...
For assessing myocardial injury following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), troponin I is overly sensitive and fails to distinguish procedure-related myocardial infarction (MI) from minor ...
Definitions for what constitutes elevation of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) vary widely among centers. Setting absolute rather than relative thresholds may help pinpoint clinically relevant levels of the ...
Cleveland, OH - Patients who develop even modest increases of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) after PCI are at an increased risk of death within the first 4 months postprocedure, a new study indicates.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Mayo Clinic have compiled peer-reviewed evidence and crafted a guideline designed to help physicians and medical centers stop the ...
DALLAS, Aug. 20 – A test commonly used to diagnose heart attacks may also identify patients at increased risk of death after balloon angioplasty, according to a study in today's rapid access issue of ...
Elevated levels of cardiac biomarkers following CABG surgery associated with increased risk of death
Patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery and had elevated levels of the cardiac enzymes creatine kinase or troponin in the 24 hours following surgery had an associated intermediate ...
A motorcycle accident five years ago that damaged his cervical spinal cord left a 65-year-old African-American man with left spastic hemiparesis (almost hemiparalysis). He takes baclofen for the ...
Gender disparities in outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) might be addressed by sex-specific biomarker thresholds for perioperative myocardial injury, researchers suggested from a ...
