adenosine
What does myocardial ischemic Visceral afferent nerves, sympathetic fibers,
injury stimulate? autonomic/vagal pathways
Cardiac-specific troponins Troponin I and T
Troponin immunoassay Troponin I and T increases within 4-6 hours, peaks
around 12-24 hours, remains positive for 7-10days
Myoglobin never done (but in exams this is the first cardiac
