Cardiac indicator CK-MB might be a predictive marker for severity and organ failure development of acute pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prediction of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is the key to providing timely and targeted intensive care for acute pancreatitis (AP). The heart is one of multiple organs involved in the early stage of SAP, but the predictive ability of cardiac dysfunction for SAP remains elusive. We sought to determine if the serum levels of three cardiac indicators (CI) including N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin I (cTNI), and creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB) at admission could predict the occurrence of SAP and the development of related organ failure (OF).

Methods

A retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted on the files of patients presenting to the emergency intensive care unit and medical ward of a regional hospital
