Abstract A 65-year-old woman failed to develop increased creatine kinase or lactate dehydrogenase activity after a myocardial infarction. She had no measurable creatine kinase MB isoenzyme and no detectable patterns of normal LD isoenzyme activity. These determinations five months after the infarction showed normal values for total activity and isoenzyme patterns.

Lactate Dehydrogenase Isoenzymes

Abstract Lactate dehydrogenase (LD) isoenzymes 1 and 2 in human serum were separated on a column of diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex. Samples layered on mini-columns were eluted with buffered sodium chloride (100, 150, and 200 mmol/liter). Lactate dehydrogenase activity in column effluents was measured by the Wacker method, and their isoenzyme content was evaluated by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. Results for column-fractionated LD-1 and LD-2 were expressed in two ways: LD-1/LD-2 ratios and total LD-1 + LD-2 activities. The former is a more specific indicator of myocardial infarction than the latter. Sera from 10 patients with acute myocardial infarction (increased creatine kinease isoenzyme MB activity) exhibited ratios in the range of 0.92 to 1.56, ratios for 10 patients without heart disease (normal creatine kinase MB) ranged from 0.33 to 0.69.

Abstract We detected the presence of creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) in serum by using an immunoinhibition technique to inactivate the creatine kinase isoenzyme of muscle origin (CK-MM). The GEMSAEC centrifugal analyzer is ideally suited for this procedure because it rapidly mixes reagents and has a throughput of 60 samples/h. The within-run CV was acceptable when the CK-MB value was 7.5 U/L or more. CK-MM was totally inactivated up to 5000 U/L, a value well above that usually seen in myocardial-infarct patients. We assessed the predictability of the assay for detecting myocardial infarction among 120 coronary-care patients when 2% of total CK activity was considered diagnostic and compared the results with those obtained with an electrophoresis technique. The positive predictive value of the immunoinhibition assay was 97.8%, as compared to 92% with the CK electrophoresis technique, when lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) isoenzyme results were included in both cases. The optimal negative predictive value was 95.1% with the immunoinhibition assay vs 98.2% with electrophoresis. We conclude that the immunoinhibition technique for estimating CK-MB can be automated to assess myocardial status rapidly, precisely, inexpensively, and sensitively.

Lactate Levels

Objectives: Myocardial infarction is the most common form of coronary heart disease, the commonest cause of worldwide mortality. The present biochemical markers take atleast 6 hours for elevation following an episode of myocardial infarction. There is a need for sensitive marker for early diagnosis and prognosis. Lactate, the end product of anaerobic glycolysis is found to be elevated in many critical illnesses. Thus the study was undertaken to assess the levels of serum lactate in patients with myocardial infarction and to correlate it with the frequently used enzymatic markers for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, i.e creatine kinase – MB and lactate dehydrogenase Methods: Fifty age and sex matched controls and fty cases of myocardial infarction were included in the study. Serum creatine kinase – MB, lactate dehydrogenase and lactate were estimated in these subjects. Results:The serum lactate levels were signicantly higher among cases when compared to controls. The serum lactate levels positively correlated with serum creatine kinase – MB among cases but not with lactate dehydrogenase. Conclusions: We conclude that serum lactate is altered in patients with myocardial infarction and may be considered as a prognostic risk factor in these patients. Further studies are needed to nd the cut-off value of serum lactate for assistance in the hemodynamic management of these patients.

Abstract Six of 13 randomly selected patients in a medical intensive-care unit with above-normal creatine kinase MB activities had diagnoses other than myocardial infarction. These data, which indicate the need for further study, were obtained during evaluation of a commercially available column procedure (Biodynamics/bmc).

Abstract We show how to make an unsupervised discrimination of disease and nondisease states by measuring information and using newer notions of inductive reason. We also present a new theory of group-based reference values that is based on measuring information uncertainty. We use data on the isoenzymes creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase-1 (LD1) and on the percentage of LD1 from 101 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and from 41 patients with suspected, but unfounded, infarction (non-AMI). Calculating the Shannon entropy, a concept from information theory, of the data base allows determination of a difference in entropy values ("effective information"), which determines decision cutoff values that produce binary-base patterns yielding the fewest classification errors. Redundancy in testing is important because it provides the information to approach a goal of errorless discrimination by coding the test results and meeting the conditions of the "Noisy Channel Theorem" of information theory. This redundancy improves the predictive value of diagnosis by isolating the area of equivocation to evident patterns. Results for CK-MB and LD1 are 99% correct in assigning cases to AMI and non-AMI categories; adding %LD1 increases the proportion of errorless binary patterns from 25% to 90%.

Serum creatine kinase, aspartate transaminase, and hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activities were abnormal in 76, 50, and 28% respectively of 50 patients studied within 26 hours of surgery. No patient showed clinical evidence of myocardial infarction. Creatine kinase MB isoenzyme elevation, and lactate dehydrogenase LD1 activity greater than LD2 (LD1 > LD2) were infrequent (6 and 10% respectively). No patient showed the combination of transient MB isoenzyme elevation and LD1 > LD2, although their rare association without infarction after surgery is to be anticipated.

Lactate Dehydrogenase Isoenzymes

Abstract Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes were partially separated by use of a previously described column technique for creatine kinase [Clin. Chem. 20, 36 (1974)]. Extracts of lactate dehydrogenase-rich tissues were used to evaluate column resolution. Samples layered on mini-columns containing DEAE-Sephadex were eluted with Tris-buffered sodium chloride (100 and 200 mmol/ liter). Lactate dehydrogenase activity in column effluents was measured by the Wacker method, and their isoenzyme content was assessed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. Dehydrogenase isoenzymes 3, 4, and 5 were separated from isoenzymes 1 and 2, and the separation was tissue-specific and reproducible. The electrophoretic technique for isoenzymes 3, 4, and 5 gave values about 20% lower than did the column technique. Sera from 15 healthy laboratory technicians contained total lactate dehydrogenase, isoenzymes 1 and 2, and isoenzymes 3, 4, and 5 in the ranges 94 to 152, 34 to 64, and 38 to 75 U/liter, respectively. Activities of sera from 15 patients with acute myocardial infarction (total lactate dehydrogenase) ranged from 212 to 800 U/liter and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes 1 and 2 ranged from 138 to 628 U/liter. Lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzymes were rapidly and easily measured after being simultaneously separated. The procedure is specific and sensitive for following the post-infarct time course of changes in isoenzyme activities.
