What kinds of enzymes and proteins are usually included in the myocardial enzyme spectrum?

A myocardial enzyme profile, also known as a cardiac enzyme panel or cardiac biomarker panel, is a blood test used to measure the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in the blood that are released during a heart attack or other heart conditions. The test is typically performed in a hospital or medical laboratory and can be used to diagnose a range of heart conditions, including myocardial infarction (heart attack) and angina (chest pain).
There are several enzymes and proteins that are commonly included in a myocardial enzyme profile, including:
  1. Troponin: Troponin is a protein that is released when heart muscle is damaged, making it a highly sensitive marker for myocardial infarction. Troponin levels can rise within hours of a heart attack and remain elevated for several days.
  2. Creatine kinase (CK): CK is an enzyme that is released when heart muscle is damaged. Elevated levels of CK can indicate a heart attack or other heart condition.
  3. CK-MB: CK-MB is a subtype of creatine kinase that is primarily found in the heart. Elevated levels of CK-MB can indicate a heart attack or other heart condition.
  4. Myoglobin: Myoglobin is a protein found in heart and skeletal muscle. Elevated levels of myoglobin can indicate a heart attack or other heart condition.
  5. LDH: LDH is an enzyme found in many tissues throughout the body, including the heart. Elevated levels of LDH can indicate heart damage.
A myocardial enzyme profile typically involves taking a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are usually available within a few hours, although some tests may take longer.
A myocardial enzyme profile can be used to diagnose a range of heart conditions, including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and heart failure. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and to determine the risk of future heart problems.

【CK-MB】Creatine Kinase Isoenzyme Assay Kit (Immunosuppressive Method)

detail of 【CK-MB】Creatine Kinase Isoenzyme Assay Kit (Immunosuppressive Method)
Usage
This kit is used to quantitatively detect the activity of creatine kinase isoenzyme in human serum in vitro.

 

Background of Clinical Indications

It is used for the auxiliary diagnosis of myocardial infarction and other diseases. Creatine kinase isoenzymes have specificity in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Combined with myocardial enzyme map, it is helpful for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Simultaneously, CK-MB will increase to a certain extent during acute skeletal muscle injury.
