Why the study?
Do peak CK, CRP, and time to intervention correlate with infarct size assessed by delayed contrast-enhanced MRI in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI?
Do peak CK, CRP, and time to intervention correlate with infarct size assessed by delayed contrast-enhanced MRI in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI?
Peak CK values, but not CRP or time to intervention, correlate well with infarct size assessed by delayed contrast-enhanced MRI in STEMI patients after primary PCI.

Peak CK may estimate infarct size post-PCI in STEMI; leaves open CRP and time-to-PCI utility.
