Why the study?
Does a competitional 14 km run increase serum values of cardiac and skeletal muscle enzymes in healthy non-smoking, physically fit men?
Does a competitional 14 km run increase serum values of cardiac and skeletal muscle enzymes in healthy non-smoking, physically fit men?
A 14 km run significantly increases serum levels of both skeletal and cardiac muscle enzymes in healthy men, indicating that intense physical exercise can cause cardiac enzyme release.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Clinicians should consider recent intense exercise when interpreting enzyme elevations; leaves open questions on diagnostic thresholds in fit populations.
Agner et al. (1988) studied this question.
