CKMBfraktio
CKMBfraktio refers to the fractional amount of creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) in a patient's blood. Creatine kinase is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the heart muscle. CK-MB is a specific isoenzyme of creatine kinase that is predominantly found in the heart. When heart muscle is damaged, such as during a heart attack (myocardial infarction), CK-MB is released into the bloodstream. Measuring the level of CK-MB can help diagnose and assess the extent of cardiac damage.
The "fraktio" aspect, meaning fractional or percentage, typically relates to the ratio of CK-MB to the total
Historically, CK-MB levels and the CK-MB index were crucial biomarkers for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. However,
