What tests are in the MI Panel |
- Total CK (CPK) - CK-MB - Troponin I - Myoblobin |
|
Total CK (CPK) |
- due to damage of brain/lungs (BB), heart (MB), skeletal muscle (MM) - not specific for MI |
|
CK-MB |
- cardiac specific - not necessarily for MI, can be elevated due to other cardiac diseases i.e. CPR, cardioversion, Cocaine abuse, blunt chest trauma, defib., cardiac/ noncardiac surgical procedures, angina - rise: 4-6 hrs; fall: 36-48 hrs; persists for 10-14 days |
|
Troponin I |
- cardiac specific - preferred marker for acute MI (AMI) - rise: 2-3 hrs; peak: 12 hrs; persists for 10 days - rises before CK-MB but won’t rise in angina |
|
Myoblobin |
- cardiac specific - highly sensitive for MI - rise: 2-3 hrs; peak: 8-12 hrs; persists <24 hrs - affected by renal function and muscle injury - often rises before troponin-I |
