CK-MB kinetics differ post-CABG versus AMI; may inform perioperative MI diagnosis but leaves open prospective validation of adjusted thresholds.
Do serum CK-MB kinetics differ between acute myocardial infarction and uncomplicated coronary bypass surgery?
CK-MB kinetics differ significantly between uncomplicated CABG and AMI, highlighting the need to consider the specific time course of CK-MB elevation when diagnosing perioperative myocardial infarction.
Ström et al. (1979) studied this question.
