Objective:
To study the changes in myocardial enzyme spectrum in relation to electrocardiogram (ECG) in Salmonella food poisoning.
Methods:
The myocardial enzyme spectrum and ECG of 56 patients with Salmonella food poisoning were examined, with 34 normal subjects serving as the control group.
Results:
In the food poisoning group, the myocardial enzyme activities was increased in 36 cases (64.29%) within 2 days after the poisoning and the ECG of 33 cases (58.93%) showed abnormal changes within 1-4 days. The levels of creatine phosphoskinase (CPK) and alpha-hydroxybutyrate acid dehydrogenase (alpha-HBDH) in poisoning group were obviously higher than those in the control group (P<0.01).
Conclusion:
Routine examination of myocardial enzyme spectrum and ECG helps define early changes in patients with Salmonella food poisoning for clinical treatment decision.
