Myocardial damage in successful single vessel coronary angioplasty as assessed by creatinine kinase and its myocardium band isoenzyme levels.

Objective: To determine the frequency of myocardial damage in elective, successful, single vessel percutaneous coronary angioplasty by assessing myocardial band (MB), creatinine kinase levels and to find out the association of common modifiable risk factors with myocardial damage in patients undergoing single vessel coronary angioplasty.

Study Design: Descriptive.

Place And Duration Of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology / National Institute of Heart Disease, Rawalpindi, from September 2006 to September 2007.
