The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated in 58 open-chest anaesthetised dogs; 23 were controls, 15 were given intravenous propranolol 1 mg . kg-1 before and at 6 h intervals after coronary ligation, nine had bilateral cervical vagal nerve stimulation (VS) before and for 4 to 6 h
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine the incidence and independent prognostic value of increased serum levels of sensitive serologic markers in patients in whom a conventionally diagnosed acute myocardial infarction had been ruled out.
BACKGROUND
Increased serum levels of creatine kinase (CK) isoenzyme
OBJECTIVE
To determine the test performance characteristics of serial creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) mass measurements for acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients presenting to the ED with chest pain and nondiagnostic ECGs.
METHODS
A prospective, observational test performance study was conducted.
OBJECTIVE
We examined the diagnostic performance of serum myoglobin, creatine-kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) for predicting the infarct-related artery (IRA) patency in patients receiving TNK-tissue plasminogen activator (TNK-tPA) therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the
A study of the diagnostic value of serum creatine kinase (CK) isoenzymes showed that MB isoenzyme, which characterizes heart tissue, was a specific and sensitive indicator of acute myocardial infarction. In cases where the clinical picture was complicated by ventricular tachycardia, severe
A prospective clinical study was conducted to ascertain if a patient's postoperative elevation in serum creatine kinase MB isoenzyme coupled with determination of the lactate dehydrogenase1/lactate dehydrogenase2 ratio could differentiate whether atrial or ventricular myocardium was the source of
Two hundred and one patients admitted to Coronary Care Unit with documented acute myocardial infarction, whose chest pain had occurred within 12 hours of hospital admission non thrombolised, were studied. The peak of creatine kinase (CK) was examined and compared between patients without previous
We compared, in 116 patients, the relative usefulness of results of tests for creatine kinase B isoenzymes, as measured by radioimmunoassay, and the MB isoenzyme, as measured by electrophoresis, in diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. The radioimmunoassay was specific for isoenzymes of creatine
At Charity Hospital of Louisiana at New Orleans, in 1978, there was considerable underuse of serum creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Laboratory generation of creatine kinase isoenzyme tests for patients suspected of having had myocardial
The aim of the present study was to determine the strength of the relation between serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MB estimated infarct size, other prognostic variables, and mortality after acute myocardial infarction. Serum creatine kinase MB estimated infarct size and 11 other prognostic variables
The relation in time and magnitude between QRS vector changes (QRS-VD), ST vectors (ST-VM), and the cumulated release of myoglobin, total creatine kinase, and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB was studied. Seventy four patients with a first myocardial infarction and a history of symptoms of up to 5 h
The diagnostic efficacy of creatine kinase (CK) isoforms (CK-3 and CK-2) was compared with measurement of CK-2 mass concentrations for the early diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI). Serial serum samples drawn from 76 patients with confirmed MI and 55 non-MI patients were used for determining
201Thallium (201Tl) perfusion scintigraphy was performed in 22 patients with first acute transmural myocardial infarction within the initial 12 h after onset of symptoms. The size of the abnormally perfused area on 201Tl images was estimated by visual analysis and by a computer-assisted technique.
OBJECTIVE
In heart failure, cardiac energy metabolism is compromised. The failing myocardium is characterized by reduced contents of both phosphorylated (phosphocreatine) and non-phosphorylated (free) creatine content as well as decreased energy reserve via creatine kinase (creatine kinase reaction
A method for rapid separation and visualization of creatine phosphokinase (EC 2.7.3.2 ATP: creatine phosphotransferase) isoenzymes on cellulose acetate has been developed. The technic uses the Beckman microzone electrophoresis system, and is applicable to other cellulose acetate systems. Incubation
