Why the study?
Can serum enzymes and isoenzymes accurately diagnose and differentiate myocardial ischemia and necrosis from other conditions like pulmonary embolism?
Can serum enzymes and isoenzymes accurately diagnose and differentiate myocardial ischemia and necrosis from other conditions like pulmonary embolism?
Serial measurement of cardiac enzymes and isoenzymes is highly sensitive and specific for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction and differentiating it from pulmonary embolism.

May aid AMI-PE differentiation where troponin unavailable; leaves open validation against modern biomarkers in prospective studies.
