Biomarkers are substances that are measured, usually in the blood, and help answer specific clinical questions.
Troponin is associated with myocardial damage, while BNP and NT-proBNP can help investigate heart failure. Other indicators have different uses and limitations.
Not all markers are heart-specific and not all need to be measured prophylactically. Their selection and interpretation are based on history, symptoms and clinical examination.
