Diagnostic evaluation of viral myocarditis by combined determination of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB mass / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To appraise the values of combined determination of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB mass in the diagnosis of viral myocarditis.Methods The myocardial injury markers(cTnI,MYO and CK-MB mass)and myocardial enzyme(LDH,AST,CK and ?-HBDH)of 61 patients with viral myocarditis(VMC),74 patients with non-viral myocarditis(NVMC)and 46 healthy subjects were determined,respectively,by microparticle chemiluminescent immunoassay and continuous monitoring assay.Diagnostic efficiency was calculated by matrix decision method.Results The serum levels of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB mass of the patients in VMC group were obviously higher than that of the patients in NVMC group(0.46?0.21 vs 0.06?0.04?g/L,98.7?38.2 vs 39.2?26.8?g/L and 6.1?4.2 vs 2.2?1.7?g/L,respectively)as well as that of healthy subjects(0.46?0.21 vs 0.07?0.04?g/L,98.7?38.2 vs 36.5?24.7?g/L and 6.1?4.2 vs 2.1?1.5?g/L,respectively,P0.05).For preliminary diagnosis of VMC,the SE of MYO is highest,but the SP of cTnI and CK-MB mass were better choice.Restoration of MYO was earliest while cTnI was latest during convalescence of the patients.Conclusion Combined and uninterrupted determination of the myocardial injury markers can provide better diagnostic accuracy.
