The Kinetics of Cardiac Biomarkers. A; Time Course of Creatine Kinase (CK). Preoperative CK values were statistically insignificant for the control and postconditioning groups. Postoperative 2 hour point, CK values were similar. After 6 hour, CK levels for the MMPOC group and Control group began to depart and this significant difference continued to the 12 hour, 24 hour and 48 hour after the procedure. B; Time Course of Creatine Kinase Myocard-Brain (CK-MB). Preoperative CK-MB values were statistically insignificant for the control and postconditioning groups. Postoperative 2 hour point, CK-MB values for the two groups were began to differentiated statistically. CK-MB levels for the MMPOC and Control group were statistically significant for the 6 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour, and 48 hour time points. C; Time Course of Troponin-I (TnI). Preoperative TnI values were statistically insignificant for the control and postconditioning groups. Postoperative 2 hour point, TnI values were similar. After 6 hour, TnI levels for the MMPOC group and Control group began to depart and this significant difference continued to the 12 hour, 24 hour and 48 hour after the procedure.
