Question: Could sometone tell me (blayjo...@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 blayjo...@gmail.com -- Jorge A.
