Serial determinations of creatine phosphokinase isoenzymes (CPK) were made during the operative period and the first postoperative week in 60 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Electrocardiograms (ECG) and serum levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were also evaluated. All patients had increased CPK MB activity which first became detectable during the operative period. The CPK MB curves usually showed a peak during the first postoperative hours and then a rapid decay. Some curves, however, showed a different profile with a prolonged liberation of CPK MB. This type of curve was more frequent in patients with electrical signs of necrosis or ischemic injury. In this group, the total amount of CPK MB released was greater than that in patients with unchanged ECG tracings (p < 0.05). A mean curve of CPK MB activity was calculated for the patients without electric and/or enzymatic signs of myocardial injury. Serum CPK MB determination is a useful technique for identifying perioperative myocardial infarction (MI) and the time sequence of its occurrence. The appearance of this isoenzyme in every patient undergoing coronary surgery is an interesting finding, and its significance needs to be clarified. |
