What is the interpretation of myocardial injury markers?

Myocardial injury markers are biomarkers that reflect myocardial injury.

Myocardial injury markers refer to substances released into the blood when myocardial cells are damaged or necrotic, which can reflect the degree of myocardial injury. Common myocardial injury markers include creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, troponin, etc. Under normal circumstances, the level of myocardial injury markers in the blood is very low or cannot be detected. However, if there is coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and other diseases that cause myocardial injury, the value will increase abnormally during the examination. At the same time, monitoring the levels of myocardial damage markers can also help determine subsequent treatment effects.
