  2. Troponin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troponin

    Elevated troponin levels are prognostically important in many of the conditions in which they are used for diagnosis. [ 36 ] In a community-based cohort study indicating the importance of silent cardiac damage, troponin I has been shown to predict mortality and first coronary heart disease event in men free from cardiovascular disease at ...

  3. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

    Test Sensitivity and specificity Approximate peak Description Troponin test: The most sensitive and specific test for myocardial damage. Because it has increased specificity compared with CK-MB, troponin is composed of 3 proteins- Troponin C, Cardic troponin I, and Cardiac troponin T. Troponin I especially has a high affinity for myocardial injury.

  4. Troponin I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troponin_I

    High sensitive troponin I has been proven to have superior clinical performance versus high sensitivity troponin T in patients with renal impairment [17] and skeletal muscle disease. [18] [19] It is also not affected by diurnal rhythm, which is important when the test is used as a screening tool for CVD. [20]

  7. Troponin T - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troponin_t

    Troponin T binds to tropomyosin and helps position it on actin, [2] and together with the rest of the troponin complex, modulates contraction of striated muscle. [3] The cardiac subtype of troponin T is especially useful in the laboratory diagnosis of heart attack because it is released into the blood-stream when damage to heart muscle occurs. [4]

  8. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_myocardial...

    The diagnosis of myocardial infarction requires two out of three components (history, ECG, and enzymes). When damage to the heart occurs, levels of cardiac markers rise over time, which is why blood tests for them are taken over a 24-hour period. Because these enzyme levels are not elevated immediately following a heart attack, patients ...
