Fastest Troponin-I Serum Test in Delhi

What is a Troponin-I Serum test?

The troponin test checks the levels of troponin T or troponin I proteins in the blood. These proteins are released into the blood when the heart muscle has been damaged when a heart attack occurs. The more damage there is to the heart, the higher the amount of troponin T and I will be in the bloodstream.

When is the Troponin-I Serum test recommended?

It is recommended when a heart attack may be suspected and testing to be done when a person has signs and symptoms such as:

• Chest pain, discomfort, and/or pressure (most common)

• Rapid heart rate, skipping a beat

• Shortness of breath and/or difficulty breathing

• Fatigue

• Nausea, vomiting

• Cold sweat

• Lightheaded

• Pain in the other places, such as the back, arm, jaw, neck, or stomach

What does it measure?

The Troponin-I Serum test measures:

• The troponin tests are done, together with other tests like ECG, in people with persistent chest pain and taken to the hospital in an emergency to see if they have had a heart attack.

• In a heart attack, a blood clot stops the normal flow of the blood and oxygen to the muscles.

• Without oxygen, the heart muscle cells die and that releases troponin into the bloodstream. The more extensive damage is, the greater the release and the higher the blood concentrations. Concentrations can be increased within two or three hours and may remain high for 10 to 14 days.

• Until recently, a standard cTnI or cTnT troponin blood test has been done by the laboratory, but these two tests have now mostly been replaced by more sensitive tests producing results called high-sensitivity troponins, hs-cTnI, or hs-cTnT.

• This benefit of the high-sensitivity troponin tests is that they can be analysed as a highly specific marker of heart damage at very low levels, which means that early detection and minor heart damage can be picked up much earlier than the previously used standard troponin tests.
