Cardiac Marker
Cardiac markers are specific proteins and enzymes released into the bloodstream when the heart muscle is damaged or stressed. Measuring these markers helps doctors quickly identify heart-related conditions such as heart attacks, heart muscle injury, or ongoing cardiac inflammation. Early detection through cardiac marker tests allows for timely treatment and better management of cardiovascular diseases, improving patient outcomes.
