Creatine Kinase MB (CK-MB) is an enzyme found mainly in heart muscle cells. It is released into the bloodstream after a heart attack, when heart muscle cells are damaged. CK-MB tests measure the amount of this enzyme in the blood, which can help doctors diagnose a heart attack and determine how much heart muscle has been damaged.
CK-MB is an enzyme, or protein, that is located inside heart muscle cells. Under normal circumstances, it is not found in the bloodstream. But when the heart muscle is damaged, CK-MB is released into the bloodstream. The amount of CK-MB in the blood reflects how much heart muscle has been damaged.
The CK-MB test is typically done in people who have chest pain or other signs and symptoms that suggest a heart attack. It's usually done along with other tests such as troponin, which also measure substances released into the bloodstream after a heart attack.
The CK-MB test is done by drawing a sample of blood and then measuring the amount of CK-MB in it. A high level of CK-MB usually suggests that the person has experienced a heart attack, although other conditions can lead to elevated CK-MB levels, too. The results of this test, along with those of other tests, can help doctors determine the cause of chest pain and the best way to treat it.
CK-MB levels normally return to normal within 24–48 hours after a heart attack, so the test is usually repeated at that point to check for any further damage. It can be repeated as often as needed to monitor the person's heart health.
