Is high myocardial enzyme level in newborns serious?

After a newborn is born, if the child's myocardial enzyme level is found to be relatively high during examination, parents will be more worried that the child may have a more serious condition. Parents should not worry too much. If it is simply high myocardial enzyme level, it is often caused by a cold. Through certain treatments, it will gradually return to normal levels. Let us learn about this aspect.

Is high myocardial enzyme level in newborns serious?

Simple high myocardial enzymes may be caused by a cold and can be treated by taking fructose oral solution. As long as anti-infection treatment is actively carried out, the myocardial enzymes will naturally recover. Parents can be absolutely assured about this situation.

In fact, it is understood that myocardial enzymes are elevated in almost all newborns, but this cannot be used as the only criterion for neonatal disease. To understand the impact of high myocardial enzyme levels in newborns, it is also necessary to make a judgment based on the degree of abnormality of the high myocardial enzyme levels and the overall situation. The main manifestations are as follows:

1. Check whether the serum sample being tested is hemolyzed. If it is hemolyzed, the test value is meaningless. Even if there is no problem, the test value will be high because there is a problem with the sample itself.

2. If the newborn suffers from hypoxia, intrauterine asphyxia or some other reasons in the uterus, high myocardial enzymes are generally likely to occur.

3. Even if there is no reason for the birth, newborns will still have high levels of various enzymes in the first half month, which is simply because the child has not yet functioned normally.

4. Pay attention to whether the newborn's eating, sleeping, crying, and response to stimulation are normal. If everything is normal, there is no problem.

What should I do if myocardial enzymes are high in my newborn?

If the myocardial enzyme level in a newborn is higher than normal, it indicates myocardial damage or myocarditis. If it is not very serious, you just need to pay attention to rest, strengthen care, and avoid catching cold. At the same time, you should use drugs that nourish the myocardium, such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, fructose and the like.

If the high myocardial enzyme level in a newborn is related to viral infection invading the myocardium, then you need to pay attention to whether there has been any recent viral infection, cold or other symptoms, what the body temperature is, pay attention to rest, and treat the myocardial nutrition. It can generally be treated with fructose, VC, coenzyme Q10, etc. You should pay attention to preventing colds and regularly check the myocardial enzyme spectrum.

In addition, myocardial enzyme is an enzyme in the myocardial tissue, which is usually relatively low in the blood. If the myocardial enzyme level is elevated, it means that the myocardial tissue is damaged. Other indicators of the myocardial enzyme spectrum should also be comprehensively checked to determine whether it is myocarditis.
