CKMB


The CK-MB blood test measures the level of Creatine Kinase-MB, an enzyme mainly found in heart muscle cells. When the heart muscle is stressed or damaged, CK-MB is released into the bloodstream, making it a useful marker for heart health assessment. This test is often recommended if symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or suspected heart injury are present.
