Abstract

CK-MB elevation post-PCI correlates with procedural complications, diffuse atherosclerosis, and adverse long-term prognosis. Troponin elevation has an earlier pattern of rise than CK-MB and can be used as a surrogate. High sensitivity troponin can enable ruling out enzymatic elevation very early after PCI and facilitate discharge timing.
