The enzymes are measured by blood tests.  they can be done at bedside or in the lab.  
The usual tests are Trop-I and a CKMB.  But also there is a Myoglobin that can be done.  Depends upon the Dr.  

I'm not exactly sure how to answer the properties.  The increase in circulating cardiac enzymes in the blood is a result of muscle damage to the heart.  The normal values are pretty much negligible (0.0-0.3)

Any increase in Trop-I is significant.  The CKMB does experience some crossover with CKMM (from the body) and CKBB (brain).  In a stroke the CKMB will elevate but the Trop-I won't.
