What is Understanding Cardiac Markers and Troponin about?

Cardiac markers are substances released when heart muscle is damaged. The most sensitive and specific test is cardiac troponin. Other markers include creatine kinase (CK), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and myoglobin. Cardiac troponin levels increase 2-8 hours after a myocardial infarction and remain elevated for up to 14 days, making it useful for diagnosis. CK and CK-MB levels rise earlier but are less specific. Myoglobin levels rise earliest but it is not specific to heart.
