Earliest marker for MI
Myoglobin
Gold standard for diagnosis of MI
Tropinin
Troponin: Specimen of choice
Heparinized plasma
False pos result
Fibrin
Rheumatoid factor
Troponin: biochemical markers
CK
CA - III (carbonic anhydrase) (CA isoenzyme III)
Carbonic anhydrase is found in
Skeletal muscle not in cardiac muscle
Incresed in CA III & myoglobin
Skeletal muscle injury
Death muscle fibers
“Cell lysis syndrome”
Rhabdomyolysis
Caused by: ethanol & cocaine
High troponin
Cardiac injury
Low troponin
Skeletal muscle injury
