What are heart enzymes?
Enzymes of the heart.ANSWER 2 Different Cardiac EnzymesThe heart is a muscular pump. When a person experiences a heart attack, a portion of the heart muscle is damaged, causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain that can radiate, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and sweating. One way of determining whether these symptoms are the result of actual heart dysfunction or heart attack is through blood tests that evaluate the cardiac enzymes. When the heart muscle is damaged, it releases these cardiac enzymes into the bloodstream. When a blood test measures increased cardiac enzymes, it is an indicator that actual damage has resulted.Creatinine PhosphokinaseAccording to the American Heart Association, the most common cardiac enzyme to be tested when a heart attack is suspected is creatinine phosphokinase (CPK). This enzyme is normally present in small amounts in the blood and is released by all muscle tissue in the body--skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. When CPK is elevated, it indicates muscle damage and further tests can be ordered. Often, when a patient enters a medical facility complaining of heart attack symptoms, elevated CPK may be the only indicator that a heart attack has actually occurred. Sometimes CPK will not read high in the blood until 24 hours after the heart attack, so careful monitoring for a period of time is required. CPK-MBCPK-MB is a fractional piece of creatinine phosphokinase. Although CPK is released from all muscle tissue in the body, CPK-MB is released only from damaged heart tissue, so it is much more accurate in determining whether a heart attack has occurred. CPK-MB is diagnostic for a heart attack even in the presence of a normal EKG. CPK-MB may not be elevated in the blood until 12 to 24 hours after a heart attack. Increased accuracy in diagnosis may be found by repeating the CPK-MB blood test multiple times over the first 24 hours, looking for changes in levels. TroponinsTroponins, proteins found in muscle tissue, help modulate actin and myosin, which are responsible for muscle contraction. Some very specific troponins have been identified as occurring only in the heart muscle, specifically Troponin T and Troponin I. These can be tested for and measured. These troponins are normally present in very low quantities in the blood. When elevated, they can indicate even very minor heart tissue damage that may not show up with a CPK test. Troponin typically shows up in the blood as elevated within 12 hours after a heart attack. By measuring Troponin and CPK, it is possible to diagnose a heart attack even when other tests may be negative.
Are cpk and ck nac same?
Yes. Creatine phosphokinase or creatine kinase are the same enzyme released from the brain, skeletal muscle and heart when stressed or damaged. The abbreviations are interchangeable.
What is 1mb?
1 mb is the common short hand for one megabyte. In the computer science field, this is equal to 2 raised to the power of 20, or 1,048,576 bytes. In the retail world, it is only equal to 10^6, or one million bytes.

List of abbreviation for 'Cpk'?
Cpk = Cp (Process Capability) + p (katayori) Japanese for deviation. Cpk = Deviation of process capability
