Levels of troponin can become elevated in the blood within 3 or 4 hours after heart injury and may remain elevated for 10 to 14 days. In people with angina, an elevated troponin may indicate that their condition is worsening and they are at increased risk of a heart attack.
You can calculate an equivalent annual rate of return on your investment by calculating how 3.0 percent every six months translates to an annual rate. Use (1+i/n)^n - 1, where i is the bond return and n is your coupon frequency (2 for semiannual, 12 for monthly). So your 3.0 percent interest every six months translates to an annual rate of return of 1.03^2 - 1, or 6.09 percent.
