The CPK is often elevated soon after a heart attack. Some muscle degenerating diseases also can be detected by a constantly high CPK level. It is up to your physician to determine the significance of the result. CPK can further be broken down into specific sub-enzymes called iso-enzymes. One is heart specific, one is muscle specific and so on. So if a CPK level is elevated and the cause is not known, testing for iso-enzymes can indicate what body tissue the CPK is coming from.
