What is Creatine Kinase MB (CK-MB)?

Why is this test important?

This test is vital for diagnosing heart attacks and assessing the extent of heart muscle damage. It helps healthcare providers determine if a patient has experienced a recent heart attack or if there's ongoing heart injury.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. You can eat and drink as usual before this test.
