Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
CPK MB is an enzyme secreted by cardiac muscles when they are under stress.
So high CPK MB is highly suggestive of coronary artery disease (CAD).
So his chest symptoms are mostly due to cardiac disease.
So immediately take him to cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test and coronary angiography.
He may need angioplasty and other cardiac supportive drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
