Abstract:
Using electrophoretic method, the changes of three CK-MM isoiorms in the serum of 12AMI patients were monitored for 3 days. In post-AMI period, MM
3 reached a peak first (518.6u/l), 14.0h after infarction, followed by MM
2(19.8h, 640.5u/l) and MM
1(28.7h, 641.3u/l). The MM
3/MM
1 ratio raised beyond the upper limit found in healthy subiects, about 3.5 h after the onset of symptom and peaks 10.6h after AMI, even earier than the peaks of isoforms, CK and CK-MB. Thus the MM
3/MM
1 ratio is an earlier and more sensitive indicator of AMI.
