Abstract

The molecular marker, cardiac troponin (cTn) is a complex protein that is attached to tropomyosin on the actin filament. It is an essential biomolecule in terms of the calcium-mediated regulation of the contractile apparatus in myofibrils, the release of which is an indication of the dysfunction of cardiomyocytes and hence the initiation of ischemic phenomena in the heart tissue. Fast and accurate analysis of cTn may help the diagnosis and management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), for which electrochemical biosensors and microfluidics devices can be of great benefit. This editorial aims to highlight the importance of cTn as vital biomarkers in AMI diagnosis.
