Elevated CK‐MB mass and plasma brain‐type natriuretic peptide concentrations following convulsive seizures in children and adolescents: Possible evidence of subtle cardiac dysfunction

Summary Purpose:  To evaluate the presence of myocardial injury during convulsive seizures in children and adolescents by determining serum concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase‐MB mass (CK‐MB mass), and plasma brain‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods:  Thirty‐one childre...
