What is the least accurate way to diagnose an MI?
CKMB and Troponin marker tests are used for diagnosis of a myocardial infarction. (heart attack). Keeping in mind that a positive blood marker is but one of three criteria used. For a diagnosis of an MI two of three criteria must be met. 1. positive elevation of the st segment in an ECG, 2. Symptoms consistent with myocardial infarction and/or 3. a positive troponin or CKMB. CKMB measures creatine kinase. This is a by product in blood from muscle damage. As the heart is a muscle this can be indicative of cardiac damage. This test is less reliable than a troponin test as results can be altered by other muscle damage. CKMB is not cardiac specific. Troponin is now the most commonly used test for cardiac damage. It is cardiac specific.
Do cardiac enzymes remove dead tissue as a result of an infarction?
No, cardiac enzymes, such as CK, CKMB and troponin are proteins that help a cardiac cell function. When the cell is damaged, such as by a myocardial infarction, the cells die, and these proteins are liberated from the cell into the bloodstream where we can detect them and determine there has been cardiac cell death.
