Cardiac enzymes are essential indicators in the assessment of heart health, providing valuable insights into cardiac conditions. These enzymes, including myoglobin, creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serve as sensitive markers for myocardial damage. Elevated levels of these enzymes in the bloodstream can signal various cardiac issues, such as myocardial infarction or angina. Among them, CK-MB is particularly specific to heart muscle, aiding in the accurate diagnosis of heart-related disorders. The measurement and interpretation of cardiac enzyme levels empower healthcare professionals to make informed decisions, facilitating early detection and intervention in cardiac emergencies. Understanding the nuances of different cardiac enzymes enhances the precision of cardiovascular diagnostics, contributing to more effective patient care.
