  • Title: [Tests concerning the usefulness of serum myoglobin levels for the diagnosis of reperfusion in patients with imminent myocardial infarction].
    Author: Haczyński J, Kucharski W.
    Journal: Pol Tyg Lek; ; 48(31-33):692-3. PubMed ID: 7971491.
    Abstract:
    Blood myoglobin, CPK and CK-MB activities were assayed in 32 patients with the acute myocardial infarction up to 360 minutes following the start of thrombolytic therapy. Plasma myoglobin, CPK and CK-MB activities increased significantly less in 18 patients in whom reperfusion of the coronary artery has been noted. Maximum increase in myoglobin levels preceded an increase in CPK and CK-MB activities and it may be an early marker of reperfusion.
