Statistical Analysis
The data was analyzed for the plasma concentrations of cardiac biomarkers, high sense cardiac troponin (cTn), creatine kinase MB isoform (CK-MB), creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin (MYO). cTn assays (N=44) include 9 cTnT and 35 cTnI values. Measure unit was uniformed by upper reference limit (URL). Myocardia injury, CK-MB above URL were calculated. Paired t-test was applied to compare the four biomarkers values before and after TVCP. Statistical significance for all analyses was P<0.05. Analyses were conducted using GraphPad Prism 5.
