Overview

The CK-MB test measures the levels of a protein called creatine kinase (CK) in the blood. CK-MB is a specific form of CK that is primarily found in heart muscle. The test is performed by drawing a blood sample from the patient and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. Elevated levels of CK-MB may indicate damage to the heart muscle, such as a heart attack.

Who should do this test?

Patients with symptoms of myocardial infarction (MI): CK-MB test is usually done in patients who present with symptoms of MI, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and sweating. The test helps to confirm the diagnosis of MI by measuring the levels of CK-MB in the blood.

Patients who have undergone cardiac surgery: CK-MB test may also be done in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery, such as coronary artery bypass grafting or valve replacement. The test helps to monitor the recovery process and detect any damage to the heart muscle.

Patients with suspected cardiac injury: CK-MB test may be done in patients who have suffered from trauma or injury to the chest, which may cause damage to the heart muscle. The test helps to evaluate the extent of the injury and monitor the recovery process.

What to do if the test is abnormal?

Consult with your physician: If your CK-MB test results are abnormal, the first step you should take is to consult with your physician or medical provider. They will be able to interpret the results and provide you with guidance on what to do next.

Treatment: Depending on the underlying cause of the abnormal CK-MB results, your physician may recommend treatment. This may include medications, lifestyle changes, or other interventions to help improve your health and reduce your risk of complications.
