1
Soft tissue gas gangrene with myonecrosis is a severe complication of traumatic and non-traumatic conditions with a potentially lethal outcome.
2
Conclusions: Cardiac troponin I could be elevated in a number of conditions, apart from acute myocardial infarction, and could reflect myonecrosis.
3
After the development of troponin assays for the detection of myonecrosis, the universal definition and classification of myocardial infarction now indicates the underlying pathophysiology.
4
Results: Post-PCI myonecrosis was defined as a next-day troponin I greater than 5 times the upper limit of reference range and greater than baseline levels.
5
Conclusions: Myonecrosis after percutaneous intervention is common in a high-risk referral population dominated by atheroablation and stent use.

Secondary end points included assessments of timed function, quantitative muscle force, biomarkers for muscle necrosis, and adverse events.
2
In the miscellaneous group, three cases were related to Marfan syndrome and one case was related to papillary muscle necrosis.

In order to avoid secondary consequences of muscle necrosis, all experiments were done on muscle prior to the onset of the degenerative process (i.e.
