Dr. Li Man
Elevated CK-MB levels are clinically significant for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). CK-MB levels rise in conditions such as myocardial infarction and viral myocarditis. To prevent myocardial infarction, individuals can proactively manage their blood pressure and lipid levels. It is recommended to limit intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods, and to avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
