CK-MB enzyme elevation and correlation with atherosclerotic plaque burdensurrogate
CK-MB elevation after coronary intervention may serve as a marker of diffuse atherosclerotic disease or reflect interventions performed in more diseased arteries.
Abstract
CK-MB elevation correlates with a greater atherosclerotic plaque burden. CK-MB elevation after intervention may be a marker of diffuse atherosclerotic disease or a consequence of catheter-based intervention in more diseased arteries or both.
