  Weak diagnostic performance of troponin, creatine kinase and creatine kinase-MB to diagnose or exclude myocardial infarction after successful resuscitation.

  The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the cardiac injury markers troponin (TNT), creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) to diagnose or exclude acute myocardial infarction after cardiac arrest. ⋯ Cardiac injury markers cannot be used to reliably diagnose or rule out AMI after resuscitation. Consequently we propose that indication for coronary angiography should be extended to all patients without a certain alternative diagnosis explaining the occurrence of cardiac arrest.
