During a heart attack, heart muscle cells die due to lack of oxygen. Cardiac enzymes from the dying cells leak into the bloodstream. In addition to a heart attack, other cardiac diseases that can cause elevated cardiac enzymes include: -- heart failure, or weakness of the heart muscle. -- inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, or pericarditis. -- inflammation of the heart muscle, or myocarditis.
In such cases, repeated cardiac enzyme tests are normally conducted to confirm the diagnosis of a heart attack. Additionally, because some heart enzymes are also found in other body tissues, such as the brain or skeletal muscle, their blood levels may rise when these other tissues are damaged.
