Hey guys, it's your friendly EP here.. Would some cardiologists mind weighing in on a discussion we had going about utility of Trop vs Trop + CKMB? I think most of us are aware of the CRUSADE and GRACE registries and I've always been under the impression that CKMB was essentially worthless but I do seem to find a few dissenting voices in the cardiac literature. Most of the cards guys where I work seem to only prefer Troponin I and consider any other enzyme worthless. I currently never order anything other than Troponins but you'll find plenty of places where they are ordered in conjunction with CKMB's.
Anybody care to weigh in with some evidence based stuff? Thanks.
