Application value of hypersensitive C-reactive protein, lactic acid and myoglobin in the combined detection of myocarditis. Exp Ther Med. 2019 Jun;17(6):4471-4476 Authors: Liu Y, Huang X, Liu Y, Li D, Zhang J, Yang L Abstract Application value of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), blood lactic acid (LAC) and myoglobin (Mb) in the combined detection of myocarditis was explored. A total of 107 patients with suspected myocarditis treated in The Second Nanning People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, of whom 81 patients diagnosed with myocarditis were enrolled into the research group, and 26 non-myocarditis individuals were enrolled into the control group. Fasting venous blood was drawn from all patients to detect the hs-CRP, LAC and Mb, and their levels were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Moreover, the coincidence rate, sensitivity and specificity of single detection and combined detection by hs-CRP, LAC and Mb in the diagnosis of myocarditis were compared and analyzed. There were no significant differences in the sex, age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, chest distress, palpitation, angina and dyspnea between the two groups (P>0.05), proving that patients in both groups were comparable. The levels of hs-CRP, LAC and Mb in the research group were significantly higher than those in the control group, displaying statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Ac...
