Mass concentration of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1 in diagnosis of perioperative myocardial infarction after coronary bypass surgery

Recent advances in methodology allow the mass concentration of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB), and of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1 (LD1) to be determined quickly and easily as routine, emergency tests. We evaluated these tests as diagnostic criteria of perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) after coronary bypass surgery. These tests were compared with the usual measurements of CK-MB activity by immunoinhibition and LD1 by electrophoresis and with other biological markers of myocardial infarction such as total CK, total LD, and aspartate aminotransferase. Sixty-one patients who underwent coronary bypass grafting were followed pre- and postoperatively by enzyme determinations and electrocardiography; a subgroup was monitored by myocardial scintigraphy. CK-MB mass appeared to be the best marker of PMI during the first 48 h, although LD1 was the marker of choice from days 2 to 4.
