The enzyme level continues to rise for the first 18 to 24 hours after a heart attack and slowly returns to normal after a few days. If creatine kinase is elevated, a more specific test (troponin) can help confirm the presence of a heart attack.
Creatine kinase used in the body are of two types-for the muscles and for the brain. Any testing to check their levels will therefore have to factor in this difference and most will have a CKM or CKB test. Elevated levels of the enzyme, or any levels of it, is usually the first test for cardiac problems.erum creatine levels indicate the overall health of the muscles within the body and if a serum creatine kinase test shows elevated levels, this is an indicator of strain on the muscles that may have been caused by simply heavy exercise or even something as serious as a heart attack.
