[Histonet] Troponin is biomarker of heart attacks

[Jorge A. Santiago-Blay]

Dear Histonnetters:

I am not sure the range of expertise of the members may reach this far but
let me try.

Question: Could sometone tell me (blayjorge <@t> gmail.com) why is
blood troponin is biomarker of heart attacks. I am aware that is is not the
only biomarker but nowhere have I yet seen an explanation why not
tropomyosin of other protein components of the cardiac muscle that may find
themselves in the blood stream as a result of damage or death due to the
heart attack.

If you know of a human physiology / human anatomy listserver, please, let
me know.

Gratefully,

Jorge
