Is post-procedural creatine kinase-MB or total creatine kinase elevation associated with increased mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
Modest elevation of cardiac enzymes after percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with an increased risk of mortality and reinfarction at 6 months.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Post-PCI CK-MB/CK elevation was associated with higher 6-month mortality; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.
Simoons et al. (1999) studied this question.
