Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAn Analysis of the Creatine Kinase Isoenzyme and Cardiac Troponin T Levels in a Polymyositis PatientR.M. Golding, L.G.F. Giles, E.M. SokoyaFrom an extensive model developed to interpret physiological processes we are able to show that the observed elevated creatine kinase-myoglobin (CK-MB) and serum concentration of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) values for a particular patient are associated with the inflammatory disease, polymyositis, and not myocardial injury. This highlights that caution must be exercised in using elevated CK-MB and cTnT levels as … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,875 accessesView PDF Cite
