Cardiac Enzymes in Acute MI
- CK-MB
Cardiac Enzymes in Acute MI
- LDH
Cardiac Enzymes in Acute MI
- cTnT, cTnI
Cardiac Enzymes in Acute MI
- Myoglobin
Cardiac Enzymes in Acute MI
- Pathophysiology
Cardiac enzymes are released into blood from necrotic heart muscle after an acute MI.
Cardiac Enzymes in Acute MI
- Type of Measurment
- Serial measurements of cardiac markers are essential.
Cardiac Enzymes in Acute MI
- Early Dx?
- Ck-MB, cnT, or cTl are used for early diagnosis of AMI (3-6h) as a definitive marker.
- Recent data utilizing (HS-CTnT) assays allow diagnosis of most cases of AM/ within 1-3 hours of presentation and thus the use of other markers is rarely mandatory
Cardiac Enzymes in Acute MI
- HS-cTnT
- Ck-MB, cnT, or cTl are used for early diagnosis of AMI (3-6h) as a definitive marker.
- Recent data utilizing (HS-CTnT) assays allow diagnosis of most cases of AM/ within 1-3 hours of presentation and thus the use of other markers is rarely mandatory
Def of CK
- CK is an enzyme present in high activity in cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and brain tissue.
- It is not specific for myocardium
Types lof CK
Significance of CK in MI
Types of Cardiac Troponins
What is Troponin C?
calcium-binding component
Distribution of Troponin C
identical in the skeletal and cardiac muscle
Significanc of Troponin C in MI
so, troponia C is not specific for myocardial injury
Function of Troponin I
prevents myosin from binding to actin in relaxed muscle
Significance of Troponin I in MI
Advantages of HS-cTnT in MI
Cardiac Troponins
- Significance of Troponin T & Troponin I
- However elevated levels of cInT, could be seen in some cases of CRF and myopathy.
- (In such cases the elevated levels are sustained while in AMI there is rise and fall of cTnT levels).
….
the only disadvantage of cardiac troponin is …..
- the late clearance (7-10 days) that makes it difficult to identify a recurrent myocardial infarction. (CK-MB returns to normal by 24 to 36 hours).
Delta troponin
ECG in Acute MI
ECG in Acute MI
- ST Segment
ECG in Acute MI
- T Wave
ECG in Acute MI
- Pathological Q
Pathologic Q waves are defined as …….
as duration >0.04 s or >25% of R-wave amplitude)
The first change ECG change during STEMI is …….
The ECG may be normal during the first few hours of infarction.
….
In old MI: The only residual change is the ……
Pathological Q Wave
site of infarction as regard to ECG
site of infarction as regard to ECG
- Anterior MI
site of infarction as regard to ECG
- Lateral MI
site of infarction as regard to ECG
- Inferior MI
INVx in Acute MI
- ECHO & Dubutamine ECHO
- Ventricular wall motion abnormalities.
- Complications: MR, myocardial aneurysm
INVx in Acute MI
- Nuclear Imaging
- Radioactive Thallium 201, or technetium 99 m)
- Thallium 201: is taken up by healthy myocardium & not by ischemic myocardium (cold spot)
INVx in Acute MI
- Coronary Angiography
- reveals which vessels have been affected and the extent of damage
INVx in Acute MI
- Lab INVx
- Leukocytosis.
- Increased ESR: as there is tissue damage.

Thrombolytic Therapy as Hospital TTT of Acute MI
- Timing
- The earlier that thrombolytlc therapy Is given after the onset of chest pain, the greater the benefit (thrombolytic therapy Is beneficial up to 12 hours)

- Arrhythmias such as accelerated idio-ventricular rhythm.
Diagnosis of MI
(In Brief)
at least 2 of the following
- classic chest pain
- ECG changes
- Positive biomarkers ( cardiac enzymes)
