Prognosis Based on Creatine Kinase Isoenzyme MB, Cardiac Troponin I, and Right Ventricular Size in Stable Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Prognosis of stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) has been assessed with cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and right ventricular (RV) function or size. Whether creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) would add to the prognostic assessment is uncertain. We retrospectively assessed in-hospital mort...
