The behaviour of some serum enzymes (CPK, LDH, alpha HBDH, SGOT) in 50 patients after permanent pacemaker implantation is outlined. Changes of each enzyme were analyzed statistically by applying Student's t test. Most significant changes are represented by the increase in CPK serum concentrations (19 cases). In 14 of them LDH isoenzymes were evaluated and in 4 patients alteration of LDH1/LDH2 ratio suggestive of cardiac "injury" were observed.
