Introduction
• Diagnostic accuracy of biochemical markers for AMI can be enhanced by combining the most sensitive and the most specific tests.
• The temporal pattern of marker protein release is of diagnostic importance .
![Page 3: Cardiac enzymes and cardiac proteins - كلية الطب · diagnosis of the MI. • The CK-MB returns to normal range after 48-72 hours. Case 2 illustrates the use of this marker](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071002/5fbe96b602ff2b565f6b93ac/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• The ideal marker of myocardial injury would provide :
A. Early diagnosis.
B. Prognosis: Assessment of the success of reperfusion after thrombolytic therapy.
C. Detection of re-infarctions.
D. Determination of infarct size.

• Acceptable biochemical markers of ischemic heart disease are now considered to include
A. Myoglobin,
B. CK-MB,
C. Total CK,
D. Cardiac troponins T and I.

Creatine Kinase
• Enzyme CK has three isoforms composed of two chains (M and B chains), MM, MB and BB
• The MB fraction is found predominantly in cardiac muscle.
• It is important to show both a rise in the serum concentration of CK-MB, and a rise in the ratio of CK-MB to total CK to diagnose MI.
![Page 6: Cardiac enzymes and cardiac proteins - كلية الطب · diagnosis of the MI. • The CK-MB returns to normal range after 48-72 hours. Case 2 illustrates the use of this marker](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071002/5fbe96b602ff2b565f6b93ac/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Typically, CK-MB begins to rise 4-8 hours after the MI, peaks within the first 24 hours, and can be used to establish the diagnosis of the MI.
• The CK-MB returns to normal range after 48-72 hours. Case 2 illustrates the use of this marker to confirm clinical diagnosis, as mentioned above.
• It can also be used for follow up, as an additional tool in evaluation of cardiac patients
![Page 7: Cardiac enzymes and cardiac proteins - كلية الطب · diagnosis of the MI. • The CK-MB returns to normal range after 48-72 hours. Case 2 illustrates the use of this marker](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071002/5fbe96b602ff2b565f6b93ac/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Troponin I
• Troponin I is the subunit of the troponin complex that binds actin and inhibits actomyosin ATPase activity in the absence of calcium
• Three isoforms of troponin I have been described, one cardiac (cTnI), and two skeletal muscle (slow twitch, sTnI, and fast twitch, fTnI) .
• Each of the three TnI isoforms is encoded by different genes located on different chromosomes.
![Page 8: Cardiac enzymes and cardiac proteins - كلية الطب · diagnosis of the MI. • The CK-MB returns to normal range after 48-72 hours. Case 2 illustrates the use of this marker](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071002/5fbe96b602ff2b565f6b93ac/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Unlike CK-MB, cardiac troponins are not found in serum from healthy people.
• This make cTnI an excellent biochemical marker for detection of myocardial injury.
• cTnI has been shown to be a very sensitive and specific marker for acute MI.
![Page 9: Cardiac enzymes and cardiac proteins - كلية الطب · diagnosis of the MI. • The CK-MB returns to normal range after 48-72 hours. Case 2 illustrates the use of this marker](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071002/5fbe96b602ff2b565f6b93ac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• It can be detected within 4-8 hrs after the onset of symptoms.
• cTnI peaks between 14-36 hrs after onset of AMI and remains elevated for 5-7 days after AMI.
• Due to long duration of increase of cTnI following onset of chest pain, it could replace LD-2 isoenzyme for the detection of late presenting AMI patients.
• Additionally, recent studies demonstrate that cTnI is more sensitive than the LD1/LD2 ratio.

• cTnI has proved to be a diagnostic and prognostic marker for myocardial damage with high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.

myoglobin
• One of earliest markers, which is very sensitive but, lacks specificity.
• Its diagnostic value is primarily due to its early appearance.
