Limitations of Serum Enzyme Tests in Myocardial
نویسنده
چکیده
DTIRING THE PAST 12 years or so we have all been performing large numbers of enzyme tests and the present occasion seems appropriate for an attempt to assess the status of enzyme tests in diagnosis. On occasion most of US have obtained results which did not quite fit the clinical diagnosis and in some cases an explanation for the anomalous results can be postulated. In others the puzzle remains to be solved. I shall discuss some of these, but I would first like to review the development of diagnostic enzymology and to summarize the present position.

Enzymatic and Immunogenic Changes of Myocardial Infarction
Diagnosis of myocardial infarction is very important in a patient with chest pain. Chest pain is not always present or it may be from other causes rather than myocardial infarction. Q wave is present in 30] of infarction. ST,T wave changes are present in all myocardial infarctions, but these changes also are present in myocardial ischernia. For these reasons diagnosis of myocardial infarction...
متن کاملEffect of betaine supplement on isoprenaline induced myocardial infarction and serum cathepsin G level in rat model
Background & Aims: Myocardial infarction is one of the most common life threatening diseases in worldwide. Betaine is a safe and well tolerated compound that shows beneficial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Previous studies demonstrated, betaine reduce cardiovascular diseases but molecular mechanism of action did not known completely. Cathepsin G play pivotal role in tissue injury...
متن کاملSerum enzyme levels in diagnosis of postoperative myocardial infarction.
The levels of creatine kinase, hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase, and aspartate transaminase have been serially measured in the serum of patients undergoing surgery. Serum enzyme levels often rose to a range commonly found after myocardial infarction but fell to normal within 5-10 days. Raised serum enzyme levels have no diagnostic significance in a case of postoperative chest pain until after the f...

The objective of the study aims to evaluate the combined protective effects of coenzyme Q10 and magnesium sulphate on isoproterenol induced myocardial damage in rats. CoenzymeQ10 (50 mg/kg) and magnesium sulphate (10 mg/kg) were administered orally to wistar rats in individual or in combination for 30 days. At the end of this period, rats were administered isoproterenol (85 mg/kg i.p.) intrape...
متن کاملCondensing enzyme levels in the serum after experimental myocardial infarction.
FOLLOWING tissue damage several tissue enzymes are released into the serum. On this basis, changes in serum glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase have been used as indicators of the occurrence and severity of myocardial infarction. These tests lack specificity because damage to liver and other organs also causes an increase in the serum levels of these enzymes. Recently w...
