Diagnosis: Blood tests without clinical information, indication and context have little meaning, more information needed to interpret values.

Stop worrying: Ck-mb is an obsolete screen for heart attack. Conditioned athletes tend to run a high level and without other evidence of heart attack, i'd send you home.
