Book a Test- C.P.K.-MB

C.P.K.-MB, or Creatine Phosphokinase-MB, is a specific type of enzyme found primarily in the heart muscle. It is a subunit of the C.P.K. enzyme, which is involved in energy production and muscle contraction. When the heart muscle is damaged, such as during a heart attack, C.P.K.-MB is released into the bloodstream, making it a valuable biomarker for diagnosing heart damage. The C.P.K.-MB test is used to diagnose and monitor heart damage, particularly in patients who have experienced a heart attack or other cardiac event. Elevated C.P.K.-MB levels in the blood can indicate heart muscle damage, while normal levels can help rule out heart damage. The test is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) and troponin tests, to provide a comprehensive picture of heart health.
