Enzymes are important for proper heart function. If heart muscle is damaged, the enzyme levels rise, and this can be seen in blood work.

Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.

Why do physicians monitor a patient's enzyme levels if a heart attack has occurred?

Physicians monitor a patient's enzyme levels if they suspect that the patient is having a heart attack because changes happen over time in blood levels of heart enzymes indicate the heart muscle's health.

How enzymes affect reactions?

When a heart attack occurs heart tissue enzymes begin to show up in the bloodstream?

When a heart attack occurs, damaged heart tissue releases specific enzymes into the bloodstream, which serve as biomarkers for heart injury. The most common enzymes measured include troponin, creatine kinase (CK-MB), and myoglobin. Elevated levels of these enzymes can help diagnose a heart attack and assess its severity. Monitoring these enzyme levels is crucial for timely medical intervention and treatment.

Cardiac enzymes and troponin elevate what?

Cardiac enzymes and troponin levels do not elevate anything. Rather, when you have a heart attack (MI), they are elevated. Unlike damage to any other muscle in your body, damage to the cardiac muscle causes the release of specific cardiac enzymes. Therefore, if they are elevated, you had damage to your heart (i.e. heart attack). I disagree with the above: If both are elevated then you may have had a heart attack but, if cardiac enzymes alone are elevated and not troponin levels then you will not have had a heart attack. That's my personal experience. Troponin levels are now considered a more accurate indicator of damage to the heart muscle as a result of a heart attack than cardiac enzymes which can apply to any other muscle group rather than the heart. In fact to use the word 'cardiac' in this context is misleading because if you sprain your ankle for instance 'cardiac' enzymes will be released into the blood! So, where is the connection between damage to your ankle and that of your heart? Both enzymes therefore need to be elevated to indicate heart damage reliably.
