We report the results of enzyme determinations in sera from 88 patients, 65 of whom showed inconspicuous reconvalescence, 14 who had myocardial infarction within 24 h (MI 1) after bypass surgery, and nine with myocardial infarction between 24 and 48 h postoperatively (MI 2). We wanted to determine whether the consequent measurement of activities of total creatine kinase (CK), CK isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase, alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, and aspartate aminotransferase, conducted as a part of routine laboratory diagnostics, provided meaningful information for diagnosing infarcts besides that obtained from the electrocardiogram. The postoperative mean values of the enzyme activities in blood were significantly different among the three groups; however, only a combined evaluation of CK and CK-MB by means of a discriminant analysis allowed the prediction of MI (sensitivity: MI 1 = 98.5%, MI 2 = 95.4%; specificity: MI 1 = 71.4%, MI 2 = 81.8%). CK greater than 600 U/L or CK-MB greater than 45 U/L supports the diagnosis of acute MI.
