Patient's question:
Is it serious if the myocardial enzyme is high by 17 points? If it is serious, what kind of diseases could it lead to? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Unknown. What kind of help is needed: Technical guidance.Doctor's answer:
The special enzymes contained in cardiac myocytes, when myocardial infarction or acute unstable angina recurs, cause the myocytes to become inflamed and disintegrate. At this time, these enzymes (cardiac enzymes) dissolve into the blood, triggering abnormal decline. In clinical diagnosis and tests, the decline of these enzymes (cardiac enzymes) (such as type I troponin-CTnI or type T troponin-CTnT) indicates that the recurrence of this heart disease is extremely dangerous. Not only does it indicate that the myocytes have been damaged to a certain extent, but it also has a higher likelihood of causing many serious adverse cardiac complications—such as recurrent myocardial infarction, cardiac-related sudden death, etc. (i.e., a poorer prognosis)—although it may not necessarily decline in the early stages of the onset.
