myocarditis pericarditis
Timing:
Earliest Rise: 1-3 hrs
Peak 6-9 hrs
Return to normal: 12 hrs
Acute myocardial infarction
Negative predictor of MI
DRAWBACKS
Timing:
Earliest Rise: 1-4 hrs
Peak 6-9 hrs
Return to normal: 12 hrs
DRAWBACKS
Due to poor specificity, myoglobin levels do
not always predict myocardial injury
