From: Urden: Priorities in Critical Care Nursing, 7 ed. Troponin T and troponin I. Troponin T and troponin I. The troponins are biomarkers for myocardial damage. cTnI and cTnT are more sensitive markers of myocardial injury and infarction than CK-MB. As a result, more patients with myocardial damage are now being dectected. Several different methods of laboratory assay are available, which means that normal serum levels will vary between different clinical settings, although cardiac serum cTnI and cTnT levels will be low in the absence of myocardial muscle damage. The initial elevation of cTnI, cTnT, and CK-MB occurs 3 to 6 hours after the acute myocardial damage. This means that if an individual comes to the emergency department as soon as chest pain is experienced, the biomarkers will not have risen. For this reason, it is clinical practice to
