Species differences in metabolism, tissue localization, specificity and sensitivity for cardiac damage influence the choice of biochemical investigation used in the assessment of cardiotoxicity. The tests currently used in toxicological studies are broadly categorized herein as enzymes and other proteins, lipids and electrolytes; some limitations of these tests are also discussed.
