Sumario:An 88-year-old male patient with a past medical history of hypertension and gastroesophageal disease presented with nausea, vomiting, and hypothermia. He was admitted for further testing, which revealed elevated creatine kinase and its MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and troponin with no significant electrocardiogram changes. He denied cardiac symptoms or any previous cardiac history. The patient was treated with fluids and antibiotics in which improvement in his symptoms was noted. In this article, we share this rare case of hypothermia associated with elevation of CK-MB.
