What Does Increased Level Of MYO Enzyme Mean?

Hi sir! It would be great if you help me with this. My uncle has mild chest pain since last few days. He went to a nearby hospital and got the enzyme tests done. His reports are: CKMB: 1.4 MYO: 183 TNI: 0.05. he has lots of anxiety and fear regarding this. Can you tell what does increased level of MYO enzyme mean?

Hello dear,
Normal value of myoglobin is 90ug/dl
Myoglobin may be ordered as a cardiac biomarker, along with troponin, to help diagnose or rule out a heart attack.
Levels of myoglobin start to rise within 2-3 hours of a heart attack or other muscle injury, reach their highest levels within 8-12 hours, and generally fall back to normal within one day.
An increase in myoglobin is detectable sooner than troponin, but it is not as specific for heart damage and it will not stay elevated as long as troponin.
It is also higher in kidney failure, hyperthermia, electric shock.
After 2 days revise the test if any symptoms is there.
Hope this advice help you.
Thank you.
Take care.
