What is a Troponin-I Test?View All
A Troponin-I Test is a simple blood test that helps doctors check the health of your heart. It measures the level of troponin-I, a special protein released when the heart muscle is injured. When the heart is damaged, this protein leaks into the blood, signalling possible trouble early.
Why is a Troponin-I Test done?
The key purpose of a Troponin-I Test is to find out whether your heart muscle has been damaged, often after chest pain. It is chiefly done to :
- Check for a heart attack : the clearest early warning.
- Explain sudden chest pain : points to the cause fast.
- Track how your heart recovers : watch levels settle down.
- Check on your heart treatment : see if it is helping.
