Why are doctors concerned about the level of your creatine?
Supervised by Itamar Medical

Answer

Creatinine is one of the three enzymes that a distressed heart will make in the presence of a heart attack. Sometimes (about 25%) Electrocardiograms will not be able to show heart injury, so doctors rely on enzyme markers to diagnose heart attack and properly treat their patients.
