  • Title: [Macro creatine kinase as a pitfall in diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction].
    Author: Laursen RV, Kristensen SR, Angelo-Nielsen K.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2000 Oct 30; 162(44):5930-1. PubMed ID: 11094555.
    Abstract:
    Measurement of creatine kinase and the more heart-specific creatine kinase B has been a mainstay in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in Denmark since the 1970's. However, an elevated creatine kinase B may reflect other conditions than myocardial damage, for example the presence of other isoenzymes or macro creatine kinase. A case is presented with a review of the literature.
