sydänentsyymien
Sydänentsyymit, often referred to as cardiac enzymes, are proteins released into the bloodstream when heart muscle cells are damaged. The most commonly measured cardiac enzymes are troponin I and troponin T, which are highly specific to heart muscle. Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) is another enzyme that can be elevated, though it is found in other tissues besides the heart to a lesser extent.
Elevated levels of these enzymes in the blood can indicate a myocardial infarction, commonly known as a
Diagnostic tests measuring cardiac enzymes are a crucial part of the evaluation for suspected heart attacks.
