Patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery and had elevated levels of the cardiac enzymes creatine kinase or troponin in the 24 hours following surgery had an associated intermediate ...

Cardiac enzymes ― also known as cardiac biomarkers ― include myoglobin, troponin and creatine kinase. Historically, lactate dehydrogenase, or LDH, was also used but is non-specific. Cardiac enzymes ...

Severe stress on the heart can damage its muscle. When that happens, your heart releases certain enzymes -- a kind of protein-- into your blood. After a heart attack, the level of these enzymes can ...

New research shows that elevated levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) or I (cTnI) in patients who had angioplasty indicate a higher risk of all-cause mortality and long-term adverse events such as ...

It has been known for 50 years that transaminase activity increases in patients with acute myocardial infarction. With the development of creatine kinase (CK), biomarkers of cardiac injury began to ...

Background A 71-year-old woman presented with severe chest pain after an episode of acute emotional distress. Her serum levels of cardiac enzymes were slightly elevated and electrocardiography ...

Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that even small amounts of damage to heart muscle during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with an increased risk of death, ...

If primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed promptly, the procedure is superior to fibrinolysis in restoring flow to the infarct-related artery in patients with ST-segment ...
