What to do if your child's myocardial enzyme is high

Any health indicator has a normal range. If it is higher, it means there is something wrong with the body, which means that the body is being diseased to some extent. So when a certain indicator is high, don't take it lightly. Similarly, what should we do if a child’s myocardial enzyme level is high? When young mothers encounter these problems, don’t be anxious, but first understand the condition.

Children's myocardial enzyme values ​​are higher than adults', which is normal. The specific normal range is on the back of the test report. If it is much higher, it is abnormal.

Elevated myocardial enzymes are common in myocarditis and acute myocardial infarction. Myocarditis is a diffuse or localized inflammation of the myocardium. The symptoms are related to the degree and area of ​​myocardial damage, and the severity varies. In mild cases, there are almost no symptoms. Fever, body aches, sore throat, diarrhea, etc. are often prodromal symptoms. Symptoms of myocarditis are: chest tightness, dull pain in the precordial area, palpitations, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, fainting, etc.; severe cases may lead to sudden death, or transformation into cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

However, it should be noted that the diagnosis of myocarditis is not based solely on myocardial enzymes, but also requires corresponding clinical symptoms, such as chest pain, palpitations, dyspnea, etc., and the doctor also needs relevant physical examination signs. In addition to these, electrocardiogram evidence is also required, such as manifestations of myocardial damage and arrhythmias, etc. If conditions permit, cardiac ultrasound can also be performed to check heart size and heart function. If you have symptoms now, it is best to receive symptomatic treatment immediately and the condition cannot be delayed.

What should I do if my child's myocardial enzyme level is high? Sometimes children have certain diseases but cannot express them, and many of their symptoms are similar to other illnesses. Young mothers should be extra careful and not let their carelessness delay their children's growth. I hope you can understand more about the above content, so that your children can be healthier.
