Lipid panel and at times, C-reactive protein & Apolipoprotein A, are ordered during a cardiac evaluation.

Yes, if the reason for going to ER was chest pain, troponin is usually checked as part of the work up to rule in or out a heart attack and aside from regular labs checking electrolytes, liver and/or kidney function and cell counts.
