Significance of elevated MB isoenzyme with normal creatine kinase in acute myocardial infarction
Abstract
The significance of elevated levels of the MB isomer of creatine kinase (CK-MB) when creatine kinase (CK) level is normal was studied in 400 patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In 350 patients both CK and CK-MB were elevated (group 1), in 21 only CK-MB was elevated (group 2), in 24 neither enzyme was elevated (group 3) and in 5 only CK was elevated (group 4). In 57% of patients in group 2 the CK level was doubled, with a …
