Figure 1 Densitometric intensities for protein bands from Western blots of creatine kinase (CK)-M, CK-B and creatine kinase-mitochondrial (CK-Mt) isoforms normalized to beta-actin. A through F represents six individual patients before and after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. The protein levels of CK-M and CK-Mt isoforms were increased after LVAD implantation while CK-B and beta-actin were unchanged.
