The CK-MB test measures the level of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase in the blood. CK-MB is primarily found in heart muscle, and its elevation can indicate heart muscle damage, making this test useful in diagnosing heart attacks and monitoring cardiac conditions.
It detects elevated levels of CK-MB, which may indicate injury to the heart muscle, commonly associated with heart attacks.
It is used to help diagnose or rule out a heart attack and may also be used to monitor cardiac conditions or assess re-infarction after an initial heart attack.
No fasting is required.
Results are typically available within 3 hours.
Risks are minimal and may include mild pain, bruising, or swelling at the blood draw site.
Elevated CK-MB levels suggest heart muscle damage. The degree and timing of the elevation can help determine whether a heart attack has occurred and how recent it was.
