Why the study?
Does the mass concentration of CK-MB and LD1 improve the diagnosis of perioperative myocardial infarction after coronary bypass surgery compared to traditional enzyme activity measurements?
Does the mass concentration of CK-MB and LD1 improve the diagnosis of perioperative myocardial infarction after coronary bypass surgery compared to traditional enzyme activity measurements?
Mass concentration of CK-MB and LD1 are effective diagnostic markers for perioperative myocardial infarction following coronary bypass surgery, with CK-MB optimal in the first 48 hours and LD1 optimal on days 2-4.

May support timed CK-MB/LD1 mass use for post-CABG PMI diagnosis; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before practice change.
Gulbis et al. (1990) studied this question.
