Effect of different correction formulae on experimental subject-averaged forward cardiac CK reaction rates k (means ± SD) in normal subjects

Correction method k for Q ⩽ 1 only (n = 14) k with Q set to 1 when Q >1 (n = 18) k using actual Q (n = 18)
Conventional, Eq. (3) 0.34 ± 0.09 0.36 ± 0.07 0.36 ± 0.07
Horska–Spencer, Eq. (4) 0.31 ± 0.09a 0.33 ± 0.08b 0.34 ± 0.08
Kingsley–Monahan, Eq. (5) 0.32 ± 0.08a 0.34 ± 0.07b 0.34 ± 0.07b
Eq. (11) with FAST* coefficients 0.36 ± 0.10a 0.37 ± 0.08a 0.36 ± 0.08
a

P ⩽ 0.01 vs conventional data in same column (2-tailed paired t-test).

b

P ⩽ 0.05 vs conventional data in same column (2-tailed paired t-test).
