a) Relationship between the time to reperfusion and the time from reperfusion to peak creatine kinase (CK) release; a linear, negative correlation is evident.
b) Relationship between the time from reperfusion to peak CK release and peak CK values; a clear, linear, negative correlation between these two variables, with peak CK values getting smaller as the time to peak CK release lengthened, is shown.
