Creatine Kinase Muscle Brain (CK-MB)
Assessing to diagnose myocardial infarction in 12-48 hours
The appearance of elevated CK-MB levels in serum is highly specific and sensitive for myocardial cell wall injury. Since it varies from one to another, other biomarkers such as Troponin I should be considered together with the CK-MB test to assess heart health. It provides solution to measure blood CK-MB level on a POC level.

In Your Medical Field
The level of CK-MB, together with Troponin I and other cardiac-related biomarker levels, plays a vital role in assessing the AMI. It can provide close to the real-time value of CK-MB in the ER and equivalent facilities to help clinicians to produce up a treatment plan.
