Creatine Kinase-Mb; Comparison of Creatine Kinase-Mb in Male and Femnale Acute Myocardial Infarct Patients Before and After the Treatment

Abstract

ABSTRACT… Objective:To compare the levels of creatine kinase-MB in male and female patients of acute myocardial infarction before and after the treatment. Study design: Comparative study. Setting: Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Period: 08 months, March 2014 to September 2014. Material & Methods: Total 60 patients of acute myocardial infarction were enrolled in the study; 30 males and 30 females. The creatine kinase-MB levels of all the patients were checked and compared before starting the treatment for acute myocardial infarction and then after 24 &48 hours of treatment. Results: The results of the study shown that the mean of CK-MB levels before treatment was high in male as compared to female patients with p-value < 0.01. Similarly the comparison of mean CK-MB levels after 24 and 48 hours of treatment were also found to be significantly higher in male patients with p-value <0.01 each. Conclusion: The levels of CK-MB in male acute myocardial infarct patients were high both before and after the treatment.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting;

“…Coronary artery diseases (CAD) are very much common all over the world and especially the population of Indo-Pakistan are at highest risk for it. 11,12 Most of the patients with CAD ultimately undergo CABG, therefore, Indo-Pakistani population also contribute a significant number in the percentage of patients undergoing CABG. 13 VCM is preferably given mostly for surgical prophylaxis in CABG patients to avoid SSI.…”
