Cardiovascular function is not associated with creatine kinase activity in a black African population: The SABPA study

Higher creatine kinase (CK) activity is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease in black African populations. We compared CK activity and investigated associations of blood pressure with CK activity in black and white men as well as black and white women. Ambulatory blood pressure,...

Zusammenfassung:	Higher creatine kinase (CK) activity is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease in black African populations. We compared CK activity and investigated associations of blood pressure with CK activity in black and white men as well as black and white women. Ambulatory blood pressure, total peripheral resistance and pulse wave velocity of 197 black and 208 white participants were determined and serum CK activity was measured. Blood pressure and pulse wave velocity were higher in black men and women (all p
