Markers

Cardiac Enzymes Over Time

Type Interval (hours) Peak Elevation (hours) Return to Normal
Myoglobin 1-4 6-7 18-24 hours
Troponin I 3-12 10-24 3-10 days
Troponin T 3-12 10-24 5-14 days
CK-MB 4-12 12-24 2-3 days
LDH 8-12 24-48 10-14 days


  • n I - 2-4 hrs 1st detect
    • 8-12 hrs w/100% sensitivity
    • 10-24 peak
    • 5-10 day duration
  • Tn T - above plus 5-14 d duration
    • CK-MB : 3-4
    • 8-12 (100% sensitive)
    • 10-24 hr peak</font></font></span>
  • MYOGLOBIN : 1-2 hrs detect first
    • 4-8 100% sens
    • 4-8 peak
    • 0.5-1.0 duration
    • 2-4 day duration</font></font></span>

Creatine Phosphokinase

  • can be elevated in trauma, rhabdo, hyperthermia, physical activity, renal or endocrine dz, systemic infections
  • if pt small with small muscle mass to begin with, total ck may not be elevated- so better to use ck index- is ratio of ckmb/ total ck. Elevated if > 3- 5%.
  • CK Mass: with monoclonal antibody techniques, can directly measure ck mb mass as mmcg/L. More sensitive for detection of ami
