CKMB (Creatine kinase-MB)

 800

Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) is a form of an enzyme found primarily in heart muscle cells. This test measures CK-MB in the blood. CK-MB is one of three forms (isoenzymes) of the enzyme creatine kinase (CK).

This test helps your healthcare provider figure out if you’re having a heart attack. Measuring CK-MB used to be a common tool for diagnosing heart attacks, but healthcare providers use it less often today. Cardiac troponin is now the blood test of choice for finding a heart attack.

Higher levels of CK-MB may mean that you have had a heart attack or have other heart problems. These include: Myocarditis. This is an infection and inflammation of the heart muscle.
