Abstract

The main problems of cardiotroponins, creatine kinase analysis and their interpretation are described. Cardiotroponin level in 6-24 hours after stenocardia attack is the most informative way of assessing myocardial lesion. Results of this investigation may be used for determination of lethal outcome risks, choice of optimal treatment of ischemic heart disease, estimation of its effectiveness. Increasing troponin level in the blood is the key marker to diagnose non—ST-elevation in myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
