چکیده

Medical records of 53 burn and trauma patients were reviewed to assess the possibility of myocardial damage. Except for electrophoretically detectable creatine kinase MB isoenzyme, none showed evidence of myocardial injury. Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme tests, electrocardiograms, myocardial pyrophosphate scans, clinical course, and results of (two) autopsies were all negative for myocardial necrosis or ischemia. Types of patient, number, mean peak value (U/L) for serum creatine kinase, and ranges of percentage MB isoenzyme were as follows. Burns from direct electrical contact: 28, 16 600, 0-29; electrical flash or other thermal burns: 10, 4340, 0-22; blunt trauma (mostly from automobile accidents): 15, 3430, 0-18; myocardial infarction: 57, 1520, 4-46. Evidently creatine kinase MB isoenzyme is nonspecific in burn and trauma patients and should not be the only test result used to assess myocardial involvement.

Serum Enzymesand lsoenzymesin the Diagnosisand Differential Diagnosisof MyocardialIschemiaand Necrosis

Diagnosis of injury to the myocardium is facilitated by information on the activities of creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) isoenzyme 1 in serum, these isoenzymes being present in higher activities in the myocardium than in other tissues or in normal serum. The temporal relationships of these isoenzymes, total creatine kinase, total lactate...

Falsely negative laboratory diagnosis for myocardial infarction owing to the concurrent presence of macro creatine kinase and macro lactate dehydrogenase.

Macro creatine kinase (CK, EC 2.7.3.2) and macro lactate dehydrogenase (LD, EC 1.1.1.27) were both present in the serum of a 70-year-old woman with myocardial infarction. This interfered with the interpretation of the CK and LD isoenzyme analyses. Gel filtration and immunoprecipitation showed that the macro CK consisted of IgG and CK and the macro LD of IgG and LD. The IgG in this patient bound...

Increased activities of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in a patient with metastatic ovarian tumor.

A 50-year-old woman with metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma of the ovary had increased activities of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2), CK-MB isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase (LD; EC 1.1.1.27), and LD-2 isoenzyme in her serum. The isoenzyme activities did not show a pattern of increasing, then decreasing. Clinical findings, including electrocardiograms, did not support the diagnosis of myocardial infar...

Diagnosis of myocardial infarction by serum isoenzyme analysis.

Serial monitoring of the serum isoenzyme patterns of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in patients suspected of acute myocardial infarction has become a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic method. The predictable evolution of isoenzyme patterns following infarction permits diagnosis and recognition of early stages, recovery stages and extension of infarction in t...
