Overview
Inflammatory Markers
The following inflammatory markers are often elevated:
- CBC: Leukocytosis or eosinophilia in hypersensitive myocarditis.
- C-reactive protein
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
Markers of Myonecrosis
The following markers of myonecrosis is often elevated in myocarditis:
- Creatine Kinase:
- Cardiac troponin I (cTnI)
- LDH: depends on the extent of myocardial involvement
- Serum myoglobin
