Answer #1

#. The cells of heart muscles and other tissues contain the enzyme creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) and the protein troponin (TnT, TnI). CPK and troponin enter the blood when heart muscle and other tissues are damaged. If levels of CPK and troponin are high, the HCP orders an EKG to differentiate between heart muscle damage and other tissue damage. Troponin and CPK-MB are mostly found in cardiac muscle.

Blood samples are taken every 12 hours for 2 days following a suspected heart attack. It takes 4 hours for troponin levels to rise after a damage. CK-MK levels rise within 6 hours after damage

#. Cardiac enzymes rises in cases of :-

shock

malignant hyperthermia
