It may also be used to monitor patients with non-ischemic causes of cardiac injury. Measurement of both troponins has a sensitivity & specificity of nearly 90% and persistent elevation 12 hours after the onset of chest pain. It has 100% sensitivity in diagnosing AMI. CPK-MB fraction is predominantly found in cardiac muscle.
