Viac o knihe

The book delves into cardiac markers, specifically enzymes and proteins in the blood that indicate heart muscle damage. It highlights the role of creatine kinase (CK) and its specific form, CK-MB, in diagnosing heart conditions, with CK-MB levels rising shortly after a heart attack. Additionally, it discusses troponins, which are crucial for muscle contraction and specific to heart muscle, as well as the implications of increased LDH isoenzymes in myocardial infarction. This comprehensive examination aids in understanding cardiac diagnostics and their significance in heart health.
