Detection of alcoholic cardiomyopathy by serum enzyme and isoenzyme determination

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry
R FinkS B Rosalki

Abstract

Serum creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes were studied in 73 patients with alcoholism, including two patients with clinical alcoholic cardiomyopathy and 28 patients with haemodynamic evidence (systolic time interval abnormality) of disordered myocardial function. No isoenzyme abnormalities suggestive of myocardial injury were observed. We conclude that isoenzyme examination is unsuitable for the early detection of myocardial damage from alcohol.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
