โฆ Synopsis
Mild to moderate periprocedural elevation in CK with concurrent CK MB elevation result in increased subsequent myocardial infarction and mortality. However the potential risks that percutaneous revascularization interventions pose must be evaluated in light the risks of alternative procedures and the risks of continued medical management. Prospective clinical trials examining the relationship of periprocedural enzyme elevations to long term prognosis will need to address this issue.

## Abstract Background: Although the prognostic importance of troponin in patients with anacute coronary syndrome is clear, the significance of troponin elevation after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a subject of debate. However, most studies up to now had a small sample size
