What is a Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK)-MB test?
Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) is a form of an enzyme that is found primarily in the heart muscles. This test measures the CK-MB in the blood. The CK-MB is one of three forms (isoenzymes) of the enzyme in creatine kinase (CK). These isoenzymes include CK-MM (found in skeletal muscles and the heart), CK-MB (found mostly in the heart, but small amounts are found in skeletal muscles), and CK-BB (mostly found in the brain and smooth muscles, such as the intestines and uterus).

What does it measure?
The Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK)-MB test measures:The creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) test analyses the amount of CK-MB enzyme. They are mostly found in the heart muscles, and elevated levels of CK-MB are an indication of heart damage or heart attack. It also monitors the efficiency of ongoing heart treatment.This CK-BB rarely gets into the blood, and CK-MB will typically only be present in significant amounts when the heart is damaged. A CK test analyses the total level but does not distinguish between the three isoenzymes. When there is an increase in the amount of CK present in the blood, the CK-MB test can be used to determine whether it is due to heart damage or might be related to skeletal muscle injury.
