title: [The usefulness of determining myoglobin, creatine phosphokinase MB isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarct].
abstract: Diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction is made with the aid of biomarkers such as structural myocardial proteins, myoglobin (MG) or specific enzymes, creatine phosphokinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) or non specific enzymes, lactic dehydrogenase (DHL) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). We found good sensitivity (71%-50%), specificity (85%-100%) and predictive values (Pos. 77%-100%, Neg. 82%-72%) for Mg and CK-MB, supporting their clinical usefulness. In contrast DHL and AST were not clinically useful for early diagnosis.
