Myocardial infarction is defined as the obstruction of blood flow to the heart, resulting in oxygen deprivation. While myocardial infarction in adults is common and has sufficient diagnostic strategies, there remain gaps in the diagnostic strategies for myocardial infarction in neonates. Presently, biomarkers such as creatine-kinase MB, brain natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, and troponin are believed to be potential diagnostic tools for neonatal myocardial infarction. This literature review explores the efficacy of biomarkers for early diagnosis of neonatal myocardial infarction. The review concludes that creatine-kinase MB, brain natriuretic peptide, and myoglobin do not serve as accurate biomarkers for myocardial infarction in neonates. However, cardiac troponins, in particular cardiac troponin I, have high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing myocardial injury. Cardiac troponins experience rapid elevation upon myocardial injury, and they remain unaffected by gestational age and birth weight. In addition, they do not cross the placenta and are therefore intrinsic to the neonate. Future research should be conducted to verify the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of cardiac troponins as myocardial infarction biomarkers.

AbstractObjectivesTo probe the reference biomarkers used to manage chest pain (CP) by Italian internists.MethodsTwo hundred and fifty-seven doctors registered as members of the Federation of Associations of Hospital Doctors on Internal Medicine of the Campania Region (FADOI-Campania) were surveyed by means of Google Forms platform. Each participant was asked to report his/her sex, age, and location and hospital size (beds in hospital) in which he/she worked. Furthermore, they were asked to indicate the reference biomarker he/she usually employed in the management of patients with CP, choosing from four possible answers. In line with national and international guidelines, cardiac troponins are the gold standard biomarkers.ResultsEighty-two internists (30 females) completed the survey. Interestingly, only 30.5% of participants indicated the cardiac troponins as reference biomarker. Moreover, internists working in medium-sized hospitals appeared to prefer the simultaneous measurement of cardiac troponins and Creatine Kinase MB Isoenzyme.ConclusionsGiven the economic impact of performing inappropriate examinations and the frequency of the CP symptom and associated diseases, rethinking pathways in a multidisciplinary and shared fashion can promote optimization and appropriateness, and therefore stop wastefulness.

Abstract We present a case of a 11/2-year-old boy with toxic enteritis, consecutive consumption coagulopathy, and sever brain damage. During the acute phase we found high activity of the BB isoenzyme of creatine kinase in cerebrospinal fluid, but not in the serum. Isoenzyme MM could also be found in the spinal fluid (37.9% of the total activity). We conclude that analysis for creatine kinase isoenzymes in spinal fluid is of clinical importance.

The modifications in the concentration of circulating myoglobin have been studied by means of a radioimmunoassay in 15 cancer patients undergoing polychemotherapy including adriamycin. In 8 patients significant increases in myoglobin levels were found after injection of low doses of the drug (25-50 mg/m2). Moreover, a disturbance of the normal biorhythm of the protein was evident in 12 patients. Creatine kinase-MB was evaluated by means of a radioimmunoassay, but there was no relation between an increase in the isoenzyme and an increase in myoglobin. No ECG modifications were detected. These data indicate that the measurement of myoglobin may offer an indication of myocardial or skeletal muscle damage caused by adriamycin.
