Why the study?
Troponin is used in therapeutic sciences and forensic medicine, but its potential applications in forensic science needed to be outlined.
Troponin has potential utility in forensic science as a biomarker for determining the time and cause of death, as well as identifying drug-induced cardiovascular injury.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Troponin may aid forensic cause-of-death assessment; leaves open standardization and validation in postmortem settings.
Troponin is used as the part of today's therapeutic sciences, but is also used in forensics. Studies on troponin and its use in forensic medicine have been retrieved from systematic internet search of databases “PubMed”, “Google Scholar,” “Medline,” and “Science Direct” with the last search performed in December 2019. A total of 38 publications have been reviewed that met the study criteria and have been cited in this article. Discussions on troponin often relate to its valuable attributes and particularly to its handiness as a diagnostic marker for different coronary heart disease. More specifically, it is a sensitive and specific indicators of damage to the heart muscle (myocardium).” Troponin was established in toxicological examinations as a biomarker of cardiovascular injury induced by drugs. Troponin degrades in a regular and predictable fashion and could be a reliable marker for determining the time and cause of death. In this review, the author outlines the potential application of troponin in forensic science.
