Editor's Note: With great pleasure and anticipation in recognition of Clinical Chemistry's 50th anniversary, I have been able to arm-twist four talented scientists to document their impressive marks on the science of diagnostics in the field of cardiac biomarkers and detection of myocardial infarction. Their exciting discoveries and applications have dramatically influenced the fields of laboratory medicine and cardiology and have greatly influenced the care and management of thousands of pat...

Relating Structure to Mechanism in Creatine Kinase
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
; ABSTRACT Found in all vertebrates, creatine kinase catalyzes the reversible reaction of creatine and ATP forming phosphocreatine and ADP. Phosphocreatine may be viewed as a reservoir of "high-energy phosphate" which is able to supply ATP, the primary energy source in bioenergetics, on demand.

Troponin T measurement in myocardial infarction.(Tips from Other Journals)
American Family Physician
; Diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, such as ST-segment elevations, indicate that a person is having a myocardial infarction. If these ECG changes are not present, biochemical markers, including creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and troponin T, an investigational cardiac marker, can be

Indicators of non-Q-wave acute myocardial infarction. (adapted from the American Journal of Cardiology, May 15, 1995)(Tips from Other Journals)
American Family Physician
; Patients with non-Q-wave acute myocardial infarction are at higher risk for unfavorable outcome than those with unstable angina. The two diagnoses are often distinguished retrospectively by examination of serial electrocardiograms and creatine kinase (CK) isoenzymes. The Thrombolysis in Myocardial
