METHOD FOR PREDICTING ACUTE MYOCARDITIS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, cardiology.

SUBSTANCE: in patient's blood serum one should detect enzymes of creatine kinase - MB (CK-MB), total creatine kinase (total CK), total lactate dehydrogenase (total LDG), the level of alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (alpha-HDBG) to calculate coefficients of cardiospecific enzymes (C_cse-1, C_cse-2, C_cse-3) by the following formulas: C_cse-1 = (total LDG - CK-MB)/(total LDG + CK-MB); C_cse-2 = (total LDG - alpha-HDBG)/(total LDG + alpha-HDBG); C_cse-3 = (total CK - CK-MB)/(total CK + CK-MB). At C_cse-1 = 0.9 and below, C_cse-2 = 0.61 and below and C_cse-3 = 0.5 and below one should diagnose acute myocarditis. The innovation suggested enables to increase specificity and accuracy of diagnostics.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of diagnostics.
