Increased creatine kinase isoenzyme MB values in patients without myocardial infarct.
Six of 13 randomly selected patients in a medical intensive-care unit with above-normal creatine kinase MB activities had diagnoses other than myocardial infarction. These data, which indicate the need for further study, were obtained during evaluation of a commercially available column procedure (Biodynamics/bmc).
