Enzyme release may not mark irreversible damage after brief ischemia; leaves open translation to clinical or in vivo settings.
Does enzyme release (ASAT, CK, LD) from ischemic isolated rat hearts necessarily indicate irreversible myocardial cell damage?
Leakage of cardiac enzymes such as ASAT, CK, and LD can occur during reversible myocardial ischemia and does not definitively indicate irreversible cell death.
Waldenström et al. (1977) studied this question.
