2. Lactic acid is present.
3. Thrombolytic therapy is indicated.
4. Cardiac function has returned to normal.

CPK-MB is the intracellular enzyme that is released when cell damage and death occur. CPK-MB becomes elevated when myocardial cell death has occurred. The pH is the indicator of lactic acid buildup. Thrombolytic therapy is indicated within the first 12 hours after symptoms develop, thus, it is too late for this intervention. Cardiac function has not returned to normal.
