What is cardiac enzyme after electric shock?

Cardiac enzymes are biomarkers that detect the extent of myocardial damage. After an electric shock, if the myocardium is damaged, specific enzymes in the cardiomyocytes are released into the blood, manifested as elevated levels of cardiac enzymes.

Common cardiac enzymes include troponin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, etc. Among them, troponin is a commonly used indicator of myocardial damage, which is very important for the diagnosis and monitoring of acute myocardial infarction. When the myocardium is damaged, the damaged cardiomyocytes will release the above cardiac enzymes into the blood. By measuring the level of cardiac enzymes in the blood, it can determine whether the myocardium is damaged and the extent of damage.
