Key result
Surgical procedures and cardioversion led to variable increases in serum CK MB activities, rising in 87% of full pacemaker implantations and 50% of cardioversions (maximum 40.9 U/l).
Why the study?
Do surgical procedures and cardioversion increase serum creatine kinase isoenzyme activities in patients undergoing these procedures?
Observational
Do surgical procedures and cardioversion increase serum creatine kinase isoenzyme activities in patients undergoing these procedures?
Surgical procedures and cardioversion can cause moderate elevations in CK MB activity, which should be considered when evaluating patients for myocardial injury post-procedure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Procedure-induced CK-MB rises may confound post-procedural MI diagnosis; leaves open need for adjusted thresholds in such patients.
Lamplugh et al. (1979) conducted an observational in Surgical procedures and cardioversion. Surgical procedures and cardioversion vs. Baseline was evaluated on Changes in serum activities of creatine kinase (CK) and its isoenzymes. Surgical procedures and cardioversion led to variable increases in serum CK MB activities, rising in 87% of full pacemaker implantations and 50% of cardioversions (maximum 40.9 U/l).
