[Relationship between serum C-reactive protein and creatine kinase isoenzyme in acute myocardial infarction]
1Clinical Immunology Laboratory, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha 410008, China.
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between serum c-reactive protein(CRP) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods:
We assessed the serum CK-MB and CRP concentration in 52 patients with definite AMI at different time after their infarction.
Results:
12 hours after infarction there were 100% and 44.2% patients with positive results in CK-MB and CRP respectively, and 48 hours are 57.7% and 86.5%. By continuous observation we found that the peaks of CK-MB and CRP occurred respectively at 12 hours and 48 hours after infarction.
Conclusion:
It is suggested that as a diagnostic marker CRP is superior to CK-MB in sabacent myocardial infarction patients.
