Background
- during contraction of muscle- thick filaments of myosin slide past thin filaments of actin by calcium mediated atp dependent contraction. Released calcium binds to troponin C, T, and I, which regulate muscle contraction.
- troponins not change in trauma, skeletal muscle dz, exercise, renal failure like ck does.
- troponin C found in all tissue and is not cardiac marker
- troponin T is qualitative assay.
- troponin I is quantitative assay.
Cardiac Enzymes Over Time
| Type | Interval (hours) | Peak Elevation (hours) | Return to Normal |
| Myoglobin | 1-4 | 6-7 | 18-24 hours |
| Troponin I | 3-12 | 10-24 | 3-10 days |
| Troponin T | 3-12 | 10-24 | 5-14 days |
| CK-MB | 4-12 | 12-24 | 2-3 days |
| LDH | 8-12 | 24-48 | 10-14 days |
