  1. Hs-TnT hypersensitive troponin T, a myocardial injury marker (normal range, 0–14 pg/ml), CKMB-M creatine kinase muscle-brain isoenzyme mass (normal range 0.1–4.94 pg/ml), NT-pro BNP NT-pro brain natriuretic peptide, an index of heart failure (normal range, 0–450 pg/ml), LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, tested by echocardiography, indicating cardiac contraction ability (normal value >60%).
