  • Galectin-3: Beta galactoside binding lectin. Serum; EDTA plasma (no heparin)
  • Myoglobin: Heme protein related to oxygen supply in cytoplasm of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. Serum; heparin or EDTA plasma
  • Troponin-I: Regulatory subunit of troponin complex associated with actin filaments within cardiac muscle. Serum; heparin or EDTA plasma
  • Troponin-I (high sensitivity): Serum; heparin or EDTA plasma
