Detection of serum cardiac enzymes activities in first-episode patients with schizophrenia and its clinical significance
Objective To explore the clinical value of serum cardiac enzymes activities detected in first-episode patients with schizophrenia. Methods The serum cardiac enzymes activities(including CK, CK-MB, AST, LDH andα-HBDH) of 56 first-episode patients with schizophrenia(observation group) were measured before treatment and after treatment of 4 weeks, and compared with that of control group. Results The cardiac enzymes activities of observation group before treatment were significantly higher than that of the control(P <0.01). Compared with before treatment, the serum cardiac enzymes activities of observation group decreased obviously after treatment(P <0.01), and had no significant difference as compared with control group(P >0.05). Conclusion Detection of serum cardiac enzymes activities in first-episode patients with schizophrenia have some clinical value for assessing the severity and therapeutic effect.
