Troponin I
- *What is it?*: Troponin I is a protein found in cardiac muscle cells. When cardiac muscle is damaged, troponin I is released into the bloodstream, making it a sensitive marker for heart damage.
- *Purpose*: To diagnose acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and assess cardiac damage.
- *Interpretation*: Elevated troponin I levels indicate cardiac muscle damage, which can be due to a heart attack, cardiac surgery, or other conditions.
hs-CRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)
- *What is it?*: hs-CRP is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. It's a marker of systemic inflammation, which can be linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
- *Purpose*: To assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, monitor inflammation, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.
- *Interpretation*: Elevated hs-CRP levels indicate inflammation, which can be due to various conditions, including infections, autoimmune disorders, or cardiovascular disease.
CPK-MB (Creatine Phosphokinase-MB)
- *What is it?*: CPK-MB is an enzyme found in cardiac muscle cells. When cardiac muscle is damaged, CPK-MB is released into the bloodstream.
- *Purpose*: To diagnose acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and assess cardiac damage.
- *Interpretation*: Elevated CPK-MB levels indicate cardiac muscle damage, which can be due to a heart attack or other conditions.
These tests are often used together to:
- Diagnose and manage cardiovascular disease
- Assess cardiac damage and inflammation
- Monitor the effectiveness of treatments
It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to understand the results of these tests and determine the best course of action.
