This test helps your healthcare provider figure out if you're having a heart attack. Measuring CK-MB used to be a common tool for diagnosing heart attacks, but healthcare providers use it less often today. Cardiac troponin is now the blood test of choice for finding a heart attack.
If you have higher than normal CK-MB enzymes, it may mean you have an inflammation of the heart muscle or are having or recently had a heart attack. If you have higher than normal CK-BB enzymes, it may mean you have had a stroke or brain injury.
In conclusion, nitroglycerin reduces CK and CK-MB release and hence calculated infarct size, particularly when treatment is begun within the first 8 hours after onset of symptoms.
