Abnormal biomarker values | Number (%) |
Myoglobin>49 μg/L, n (%) | 39 (74) |
Creatine kinase>210, n (%) | 30 (57) |
Creatine kinase MB>4 μg/L | 26 (49) |
CK-MB/CK ratio≥3% | 0 (0) |
Troponin T ≥ 14 ng/L | 5 (9) |
ProBNP >ref. according to age** | 3 (6) |
CK MB/CK ratio was only calculated for CK-MB values ≥4.0 μg/L.
18–44 år: <15.3 pmol/L, 45–54 år: <29.4 pmol/L, 55–64 år: <33.9 pmol/L, 65–74 år: <35.5 pmol/L, 75–125 år: <87.1 pmol/L.
CK, creatine kinase; ProBNP, pro-brain natriuretic peptide.
