MB CPK may remain specific for MI post-catheterization; supports diagnostic utility but leaves open prospective validation.
Does MB CPK isoenzyme activity remain specific for myocardial infarction in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization despite elevations in total CPK?
MB CPK isoenzyme is a reliable and specific indicator of myocardial infarction that is not falsely elevated by cardiac catheterization, unlike total CPK.
Roberts et al. (1975) studied this question.
