Therefore, this study aims to evaluate cardiac troponin levels in patients with rhabdomyolysis to see whether levels are influences by non-cardiac disease.Type:Investigator initiatedTrial Status:ongoingEnrolling Centers:Switzerland: University Hospital BaselCantonal Hospital AarauUniversity Hospital ZurichCore Study Team Basel:Important Publications:(click on links to see abstracts)
