Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Increased activity of creatine kinase MB (CKMB) isoenzyme is regarded as highly diagnostic for acute myocardial infarction. We report two cases of elderly patients with increased levels of CKMB but no evidence of cardiac injury. We conclude that numerous factors influence CKMB activity and that the suitability of this test for the diagnosis of cardiac muscle damage in the elderly should be viewed with caution. |
