Determination of CKMB activity and protein concentration and their application in the diagnosis of AMI

Abstract

The activity and protein concentration of CKMB in 19 patients with AMI, 17 non — AMI patients and 26 normal persons. It was found that both peak times in patients with AMI and non —AMI patients were similar but the peak values were different. At peak values, the F value of CKMB (5. 3) was much lower than that of CKMB protein concentration (50.1). We are led to conclude that the measurement of CKMB protein level can identify AMI much earlier than that of CKMB activity.
