The Creatine Kinase-MB is an isoenzyme that is primarily found in your heart muscles and also your skeletal muscles. A small amount of CK might be present in your blood in the form of CK-MM, another isoenzyme type.

If any muscle cells experience damage, they release CK-MB into the bloodstream. In most cases, the CK-MB release is linked to heart muscle damage and heart attacks. Heart complications like these lead to an increase in the CK-MB levels in your body. Likewise, excessive concentration of this enzyme can indicate the presence of heart and skeletal issues.

So, if you are experiencing symptoms similar to a heart attack or stroke, you might need to analyze your CK-MB levels. Some of the signs and symptoms that you might observe can include:

  • Breathing difficulties 
  • Nausea and vomiting 
  • Fatigue 
  • Sudden sweating 
  • Muscle pain and cramps 
  • Muscular weakness 
  • Chest pain and a squeezing sensation 
  • Pain in the left arm, back, and neck

There are many patients who might suffer from these symptoms, but only few of them are diagnosed with cardiac problems. Some of them may undergo a medical examination called Cardiac troponin. But, it might be difficult for the healthcare professional to distinguish between skeletal and cardiac issues.

As the heart and skeletal muscle problems might have some overlapping symptoms, doctors focus on the CK-MB levels for proper analysis. In this regard, they conduct the CK-MB Serum Test to understand the exact cause of the muscle damage.

The CK-MB Serum Test aids doctors in examining your symptoms and associated ailments. They will utilize the test to determine if you have suffered from a heart attack. Moreover, the medical procedure is also beneficial in understanding possible heart damage and the chances of another heart attack.

Patients already undergoing treatment for cardiac ailments might be recommended the CK-MB Serum Test as a follow-up examination. It enables the doctor to study the CK-MB levels and implement the necessary heart attack treatment procedures.

Further, the doctor might also infer if you are experiencing any other complications due to the fluctuating CK-MB levels. If you are suffering from symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath, the CK-MB Serum Test will aid your diagnosis.

The test can also be ordered by your doctor if the Cardiac troponin test is unavailable. The enzyme levels can be identified after 3 to 6 hours of someone suffering from a heart attack. Moreover, the test will help doctors understand when a second heart attack might occur. Accordingly, they will prepare the heart attack treatment process or prescribe medicines to prevent an attack.

The CK-MB Serum Test results might assist the doctor in understanding if the current treatment process is effective. Based on the analysis, he/she may modify your medicines and diet and recommend other drugs.

To receive effective results for the CK-MB Serum Test, you need to take it at a reliable medical facility. Apollo 24|7 is an excellent option for the test due to its high-quality medical services.
