dc.description.abstract | Cardiac muscle injury is defined as the
disruption of normal cardiac myocyte
membrane integrity resulting in the loss of
intracellular constituents such as troponin,
creatine kinase, and myoglobin into the
extracellular space. The mechanism of
injury includes trauma, toxins and viral
infections, but ischaemia or infarction – due
to an imbalance between the supply and
demand of oxygen – is the most common
cause. | en_ZA |
