Synthesis and Specificity in Cardiac Enzymes and Creatine Kinase

摘要

Creatin kinase is an enzyme found in skeletal muscle, heart muscle, brain in the form of cardiac enzymes (cardiac biomarkers). After a cardiac attack, troponin and Creatinine Phosphokinase (CPK) levels increase. Acute coronary syndrome or ischemia may also be indicated by elevated cardiac enzyme levels. To measure cardiac enzymes, medical professionals employ blood tests called enzyme marker assays. The cardiac biomarker levels in the blood are determined by this test. Enzymes, hormones, and proteins are some examples of these markers. After the heart has been put under a lot of stress and has become harmed from not getting enough oxygen, cardiac biomarkers become visible in the blood. This could be the result of a heart attack. These levels, however, may be excessive for other causes. Biomarker concentrations are frequently used to determine the size of a heart attack and how seriously the heart was affected.
