____ elevation is a sensitive indicator of very early myocardial injury, but lacks specificity for MI. Its usefulness in diagnosing MI is limited - myoglobin - a low molecular weight heme protein found in cardiac and skeletal muscle ____ is an amino acid produced during protein catabolism. Elevated levels can be either hereditary or acquired from dietary deficiencies of vitamin B6, vitamin B12, or folate. Elevated levels have been linked to a higher risk of CAD, peripheral vascular dise...
