| Abstract |
: |
Troponins are structural cardiac muscle proteins that are released during myocyte damage and necrosis. Cardiac troponins are absent in the plasma of a healthy subject, so that small elevations are indicative of myocardial damage. However modern assays are extremely sensitive and can detect low level of myocardial damage. Troponins are highly specific and sensitive marker. The concentration of troponins in the blood increases during an acute myocardial infarction, enabling clinician to quickly initiate appropriate therapy. So they are useful in diagnosing patients with acute coronary syndrome and for predicting the response during drug therapy. This review describes the role of cardiac troponins in acute coronary syndrome. |
