Cardiac enzyme/marker interpretation (troponin, CK-MB, BNP) Troponin: Troponin is a protein in heart muscle cells that regulates muscular contraction. When the heart muscle is damaged, as in a heart attack, troponin is released into the bloodstream. Troponin levels can become elevated 3-4 hours after a heart attack and can remain elevated for up to 14 days. Therefore, it is a highly specific indicator of heart damage. CK-MB (Creatine Kinase-MB): CK-MB is a form of creatine kinase found mostl...
