Question
A seven-day-old baby was found to have elevated cardiac enzymes after examination. Will high levels of cardiac enzymes affect the baby’s development? How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
If the baby’s cardiac enzymes are only slightly elevated, there is usually no need to worry; they can typically be treated and heal without leaving any sequelae. It is recommended to observe and treat for about a week. If the levels return to normal, there should be no problem and there will definitely not be any sequelae.
