B. 12% uptodate Pursuit trial
Patient arrives with Chest Pain: Need Chest Xray to eliminate
Esophageal Rupture, Pneumothorax, Aortic dissection and also need to rule out MI and Pulmonary Embolism
TnI= inhibits ATPase activity of actomyosin
TnC= ca binding region, enables Ca sensitive contraction of mysosin
TnT= interacts with thin filaments (actin)
Elevated within 2-3 hours of event and peaks then returns to normal after 5 to 10 days,

AST= aspartate aminotransferase
C Reactive protein= acute phase reactant, binds phosphocholine, so tracks to damaged cells and foreign pathogens, a pentraxin part of innate immune system, both humoral and cellular immune initiator
Creatine Kinase MB (not MM or BB) isozyme- can be released from noncardiac cells, present in all skeletal/striated muscle (most dominant in heart), released with muscle cell breakdown, increased dramatically in plasma after reperfusion, increased B chain production in cases of polymyositis, elevated 4 to 6 hours after event (may take 12hrs), gone after 36-48hrs
More troponin than CK MB per gram of myocardium
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Natriuretic peptides Brain (BNP) = released from myocardial cells in response to volume expansion and wall stress
Lactate dehydrogenase- Muscle H heart subunits 5 isozymes L1 and L2 heart dominant, rises 10 hrs after event and peakswithin 24 to 48 hrs, baseline after 6 to 8 days
Myoglobin- ½ plasma 9 min, heme protein, elevated later than troponin so no longer useful but is still an acute marker
