Clinical Value of Combined Detection of CK-MB, MYO, cTnI and Plasma NT-proBNP in Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious life-threatening and common heart disease that is based on coronary atherosclerosis. The aim is to study the changes in the level of kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), myoglobin (MYO), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the four indicators of joint detection clinical value for diagnosis of AMI.

Methods: Plasma NT-proBNP, CK-MB, MYO, and cTnI were detected by CLIA in 208 AMI patients (AMI group) and 115 non-AMI patients (control group). SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the data.

Results: The concentrations of CK-MB, MYO, cTnI, and NT-proBNP show significant differences between these two groups. In the AMI group, a significantly positive correlation was found between CK-MB and each of MYO and cTnI (r = 0.537, r = 0.226). Meanwhile, the sensitivity of combined detection has been improved up to 92.79%.

Conclusions: Therefore, these results suggested that detecting CK-MB, MYO, cTnI, and plasma NT-proBNP levels together can significantly contribute to the early diagnosis of AMI. It can also provide diagnostic evidence to clinic and thus lower the mortality of AMI in acute phase.
