Description
The Cardiac Enzymes test is a panel of blood tests that measure specific proteins released by the heart muscle when it’s damaged. This panel typically includes tests for troponin, creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), and sometimes myoglobin. These enzymes are crucial in diagnosing heart attacks (myocardial infarction) and assessing the extent of heart muscle damage. The test is particularly important in emergency settings where rapid diagnosis of heart attacks is critical. Serial measurements of these enzymes can help track the progression of heart damage and guide treatment decisions in acute cardiac events.
