| Abstract | A new variable termed the falloff constant (k $_{ f }$) was derived from the curve fitting of serial CK-MB measurements. k $_{ f }$ represents the rate constant of maximal decline in serum CK-MB and is determined from the slope of the lognormal curve at the inflection point. Physiologically, k $_{ f }$ /′s magnitude reflects the balance between CK-MB's rate of release from tissue and the rate of elimination.We examined k $_{ f }$ in two myocardial infarction (MI) patient sets. The first set was homogeneous and taken from the TAMI 7 study (n=147) and included 111 patients having TIMI 2–3 flow after thrombolytic therapy and 36 patients who initially had TIMI 0–1 flow. The TIMI 0–1 patients were opened to TIMI 3 by angioplasty within 3 h. The second set consisted of 196 patients enrolled in the IMPACT-AMI study that demonstrated the efficacy of the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa antagonist eptifibatide. This second set consisted of 93 patients in the GP IIb/IIIa treatment group and 103 in the placebo group. Log-normal curve-fitting parameters including peak maximum and curve area were also compared to k $_{ f }$ in the GP IIb/IIIa versus placebo set.The Wilcoxon test showed no difference between the two groups of TAMI 7 patients (p=0.22). However, there was a highly significant difference in k $_{ f }$ between the GP IIb/IIIa treatment group versus the placebo group (p=0.0014). Both k $_{ f }$ and peak maximum from curve fitting showed significant differences between the GP IIb/IIIa treatment group and the placebo group; however, k $_{ f }$ showed a substantially lower p-value (p=0.0014 and p=0.023, respectively).As expected, k $_{ f }$ showed no difference between the TAMI 7 groups because this was a homogeneous patient set in that they all had TIMI 3 patency status within 3 h of treatment. However, in the patient set having very different treatments, GP IIb/IIIa versus placebo, there was a highly significant difference in the k $_{ f }$ variable. These data suggest that differences in reperfusion are reflected by k $_{ f }$ and that this variable may represent a valuable new nonmortality end point derived from curve fitting analysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
