Standard name
HP_INCREASED_CIRCULATING_TROPONIN_T_CONCENTRATION
Systematic name
M50089
Brief description
Increased circulating troponin T concentration
Full description or abstract
An increased concentration of tropnin T in the blood, which is a cardiac regulatory protein that controls the calcium mediated interaction between actin and myosin. Raised cardiac troponin concentrations are now accepted as the standard biochemical marker for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. [PMID:15452153]
