Why is myocardial enzyme level elevated in newborns?

For parents who have just welcomed their baby with their own hands, every little thing about the baby touches their hearts. For a baby who has just come into this world, first of all, they must make sure that the baby is healthy, which requires a lot of examinations. No matter whether it is the data of the heart, brain, blood or any other aspect, any abnormality will touch the hearts of the parents. Today we will mainly talk about a professional name, the myocardial enzyme index, hoping to help everyone understand myocardial enzymes and the problems they may cause to the baby's health.

You don't quite understand what is going on with high myocardial enzymes? Simply put: Normally, these enzymes are in myocardial cells to perform their functions, and the amount detected in the blood is very small. Once the myocardial cells are damaged by the virus (that is, myocarditis), these enzymes originally in the myocardium will be free in the blood. Therefore, a high myocardial enzyme spectrum is a manifestation of myocardial damage. Of course, this can also explain not only the high myocardial enzyme spectrum in myocarditis, but also the high myocardial enzyme spectrum in the elderly with coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction, when myocardial cells are destroyed in large numbers. Your child's high myocardial enzyme spectrum will gradually return to normal as the myocardial cells are slowly repaired and the disease recovers, so you don't have to worry.

After suffering from viral myocarditis, you should generally rest for 3 months. If there are no symptoms later, you can gradually resume work and normal study, but you should still be careful not to overwork and not engage in physical labor and exercise within 1 year. In addition, you should pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and ensure nutritional balance. You must ensure that you have enough sleep and rest, and avoid colds, otherwise it is easy to relapse. Repeated attacks can turn into chronic myocarditis and cardiomyopathy, which are harmful for life. The same applies to infants, so pay more attention.

For children with edema: Because myocarditis is caused by the destruction of myocardial cells, the heart function must be affected, which leads to cardiogenic edema. As the disease recovers, the myocardium is repaired, and the heart function gradually recovers, the edema will disappear.

Regarding treatment: Acute myocarditis requires hospitalization for observation and treatment, so I won't go into details here. Since the child has been discharged from the hospital, you should take good care of him at home! Make sure the child gets more rest and less activity (today's children are too active and difficult to hold). The prognosis of most myocarditis cases is good, and as long as the treatment is appropriate, there will be no sequelae.

Today we introduced myocardial enzymes. It can be seen that high myocardial enzyme values ​​may lead to the risk of myocarditis in babies. Of course, this is not absolute and it still depends on the specific situation of the baby. I hope that the details we discussed today can help parents understand myocardial enzymes clearly, and if their baby unfortunately does have this problem, they should seek medical attention immediately.
