Using a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) system, we determined creatine kinase isozymes, namely creatine kinase-MB and creatine kinase-MM, in sera of patients suffering from primary hypothyroidism with concomitant signs of myocardial affections before and during treatment. After oral administration of L-thyroxine, the augmented mass concentrations of serum creatine kinase-MB and creatine kinase-MM, and the increased catalytic activity concentrations of serum total creatine kinase and creatine kinase-MB gradually decreased in inverse proportion to the increased concentrations of serum triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). By the 6th to 8th week after treatment, the elevated levels of serum total creatine kinase and creatine kinase-MB catalytic activity concentrations (assayed by a routine method) and serum creatine kinase-MM mass concentrations (assayed by EIA) declined to normal values, while serum T3, T4, and thyroid stimulating hormone attained normal values. Serum creatine kinase-MB mass concentrations (assayed by EIA), however, still remained at the higher level, without complete recovery from myocardial damage, as shown by electrocardiogram (ECG). These data indicate that metabolic distortion still exists in the myocardium, as revealed by the high creatine kinase-MB mass concentration, especially as assayed by EIA, even though the plasma levels of thyroid hormones had returned to normal.
