A member asked:

I have a ck level of 359. i previously had open heart surgery two years ago. i am currently taking lipitor (atorvastatin) along with various other medications. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not to worry: 359 in most labs is an insignificant elevation. It's possibly related to Lipitor (atorvastatin) use (not a reason to stop it), but just simple muscular exercise can cause it too. Unless you're having crescendo angina, it's not related to your heart.
