title: [Value and limitations of determination of total serum CPK in patients with complicated myocardial infarct. Case statistics for 1974-1977].
abstract: The Authors, starting from a casuistic formed over four years at the "Servizio di Anestesia e Rianimazione dell'Ospedale Fatebenefrateli di Milano" where there is no coronaric unit and that gathers patients with complicated myocardial infarction, considered the developing of the enzyme CPK in the various clinical phases of these patients. On the basis of these data, we confirm with other Authors have already observed: that is, the value of the total serum CPK isn't a prognostic index fit in the evaluation of the clinical developing of the person with myocardial infarction, especially if complicated.
