Cardiac creatine kinase – CKMB

Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of creatine. It is found mainly in skeletal muscle fibers, cardiomyocytes and in the brain.

Cytoplasmic CK exists in the form of 3 isoenzymes, which are dimers composed of the M (muscle) and B (brain) subunits: CK-MM, CK-MB, CK-BB. The parameter complements the diagnosis of fresh myocardial infarction myocardium.

Increased concentration of CK-MB also occurs in:

• first-diastole ventricular, 
• inflammation of the myocardium cardiac muscle, 
• acute heart failure heart, 
• heart trauma, 
• pulmonary embolism,
• drug use cardiotoxic drugs,

• Survey result available in 3 working days.
• Ability to receive the result in reception desk of any Medicover Centre. 
• Ability to access the result via the Internet in Medicover Online (you need to download the access password at the reception desk of the Medicover Medical Centre).
