A creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) test can help detect whether an increased creatine kinase is due to cardiac or skeletal muscle injury. The test is usually requested if someone has chest pain or vague symptoms, such as shortness of breath, excessive fatigue, dizziness, or nausea.

The troponin test, which is more specific for cardiac injury, has essentially supplanted the CK and CK-MB tests as the principal tests ordered to detect and monitor heart attacks. If you have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or sudden perspiration, you should get this test. The normal range for CK-MB is 5 to 25 IU/L.

The CK test is sometimes performed when a troponin test is unavailable. When CK is increased, a CK-MB test can help determine whether the increase is due to heart or skeletal muscle injury.

Why done? 

• An increased total CK is generally ordered with or after CK-MB when someone has chest pain and wants to know if it's related to a heart attack. 
• This test evaluates whether the muscle damage found is in the heart or other muscles.
