CK-MB mass concentration may aid infarct sizing; leaves open whether it should replace activity assays in practice.
Is measurement of CK-MB mass concentration better than catalytic activity for infarct sizing in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
CK-MB mass concentration measurement is superior to catalytic activity measurement for infarct sizing after acute myocardial infarction.
Delanghe et al. (1990) studied this question.
