Confirms troponin's established roles in contraction and diagnostics; leaves open targeted cardiotonic drug development pending further trials.
Ivan A. Katrukha (2013) conducted a review in Cardiac pathologies (heart failure, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction). Cardiac troponin complex was evaluated. The cardiac troponin complex plays a crucial role in regulating cardiac muscle contraction and serves as a key target for cardiotonic drugs and a biomarker for cardiomyocyte death.
