CK-MB Rapid Test
Price requestThe CK-MB test, or Creatine Kinase-MB test, is a commercially available diagnostic blood test used to measure the levels of a specific enzyme called creatine kinase-MB in the bloodstream. This test is primarily used to assess and diagnose heart muscle damage, such as during a heart attack.
Elevated CK-MB levels in the blood can indicate myocardial injury, as this enzyme is primarily found in the heart muscle. It is an important tool for healthcare professionals to help confirm or rule out acute coronary syndrome and other cardiac conditions.

BNP Rapid Test
Price requestThe B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) test is a blood test used to measure the levels of BNP in the bloodstream. BNP is a hormone released by the heart in response to increased pressure or stress, often associated with heart failure. This test is used to diagnose and monitor heart failure and other cardiac conditions. It allows to assess cardiac function, guide treatment, and monitor the effectiveness of heart failure therapy. Elevated BNP levels can indicate heart problems and help physicians make informed decisions about patient care.
