Persistence of MB isoenzyme of creatine phosphokinase in the serum after minor iatrogenic cardiac trauma. Absence of postmortem evidence of myocardial infarction.

Persistence of MB isoenzyme of creatine phosphokinase in the serum after minor iatrogenic cardiac trauma. Absence of postmortem evidence of myocardial infarction.

The specificity of serum CPK-MB for acute myocardial infarction was examined by retrospective analysis of 401 consecutive patients admitted to Coronary Care Unit over a three and one-half year period with suspected infarction in whom the isoenzyme was subsequently detected. Four patients (1 per cent) who died during the hospital admission had no autopsy evidence of acute myocardial infarction....

Serial serum creatine phosphokinase MB isoenzyme activity after myocardial infarction. Studies in the baboon and man.

Serum CPK-MB iosenzyme activity was measured serially after mercury embolization of the left circumflex coronary artery in five baboons and after clinical acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in 20 patients. The calculated amount of enzyme released into the baboons' circulation (CPK-MBR) correlated well (r = 0.991) with the amount of MB isoenzyme depleted from the myocardium (CPK-MBD) when a previ...
