Cardiac Marker Test

A Cardiac Markers Profile is a group of blood tests used to detect heart muscle damage and assess the risk or presence of a heart attack or other heart conditions. It typically includes:

• Troponin I or T – Highly specific marker for heart muscle injury

• Creatine Kinase-MB (CK-MB) – Indicates heart muscle damage

• Myoglobin – Early marker of muscle injury, including the heart

• BNP or NT-proBNP – Helps diagnose heart failure

This profile is essential for early diagnosis, monitoring, and management of cardiac events.
