We are not doctors on this site, but we do provide SOME research to get you off to a kicking start. This means we will calm your fears or tell you to get to the doctor immediately rather than risk our lack of knowledge regarding your health. The specialists have the answers! Please stay off the Internet regarding your condition because it's simply too complex for most laymen to understand and one could get the wrong impression and worry over nothing. Already you feel you have another disease and it's highly possible you DO NOT! You don't need stress, you need rest and work closely with your Cardiologist and family doctor. Please write your concerns down and make an appointment right away so you will relieve your mind. Bypass surgery has a high success rate. The following was taken off a Cardiologist's site: A large number of studies have shown that after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a transient creatinine kinase MB (CK-MB) elevation above the upper reference limit is very common. The cause of this enzyme increase and its clinical significance have long been uncertain and controversial, but recent reports indicate that after CABG, elevated post-operative concentrations of CK-MB correlate to an increased risk of long-term mortality. After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), CK-MB elevation has been shown to correlate to a finding of myocardial necrosis. Such an association has to date never been proved in CABG patients. The lack of a diagnostic gold standard and absence of an established definition of perioperative myocardial infarction after CABG have promoted the use of different diagnostic criteria, which in turn has contributed to a wide variation in the reported incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction, ranging from 2% to 82%. It is quite common what you are having. It is VERY important that you write down any questions you may have regarding your high levels of troponin and MK-MB fraction levels and what to expect after your cardiac bypass surgery. I URGE YOU to take a your partner or a good friend along with you as an extra set of ears. You are the one that is worried (don't blame you) and you may misinterpret what the specialist is telling you. There are some people that will go through a depressive period after heart surgery, but this is treatable by your physician and will eventually subside. My husband has Atrial Fibrillation and a slightly enlarged heart and I always go in with him to take notes and ask questions. It is common for the person with the heart condition to be nervous and perhaps miss the interpretation of what the doctor is telling them.
