Cardiac marker blood tests are vital diagnostic tools used to assess heart health and detect potential cardiac issues. These tests measure specific substances in the blood that indicate heart muscle damage or stress. Common cardiac markers include troponin, creatine kinase (CK), and myoglobin. Troponin is considered the most sensitive and specific marker for detecting heart damage, especially in cases of myocardial infarction (heart attack). Elevated levels of troponin in the blood suggest heart muscle injury. Similarly, CK and myoglobin levels rise when there is heart muscle damage. These cardiac markers aid in diagnosing heart conditions, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and assessing the risk of future cardiac events. Regular monitoring of these markers is crucial for early detection and timely intervention.
