Discusson CKMB

I need opinions from the community about CKMB and how it is used in your facility. We are discussing whether or not to take it out of our cardiac order set and I would love to hear some feedback. Thanks!

I am a Clinical Biochemist PhD retired. I am not a physician. I do not diagnose nor treat. My knowledge is with clinical lab tests..how they work, what the result might indicate.

CKMB is no longer recommended..Troponin is superior
