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.
