Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) testing, commonly referred to as the SGOT test, is a crucial part of heart health diagnostics (HHD). Although SGOT is an enzyme that is present throughout the body, it is most frequently linked to the tissues of the heart and liver. It is essential to the Krebs cycle and the metabolism of amino acids. When evaluating the health of the liver and heart, especially when identifying damage to these organs, the measurement of SGOT levels is crucial.
In addition to heart disease, such as that brought on by a heart attack or persistent myocardial infarction, elevated SGOT levels can also signify liver impairment. An rise in SGOT levels in relation to cardiovascular health, especially when it is concomitant with an increase in other cardiac enzymes, can offer vital insights into cardiac
