The second most important test is the biomarker test. Troponin is by far the most used and reliable biomarker for cardiac arrest. This biomarker is found in blood from very soon after the attack and remains in blood for a longer time than others. The most checked troponins are CK, CK-MB and the Myoglobin. These tests are recommended by WHO for a suspected cardiac arrest.
