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 most cases, high levels of cardiac enzymes are the result a heart attack â and measuring these enzymes is the gold standard for a heart attack diagnosis. Learn more in the Everyday Health Heart Health Center.
