HIGH SENSITIVITY TROPONIN I

The high-sensitivity troponin I test measures the level of troponin I, a protein released into the blood during heart muscle damage, with greater sensitivity than standard troponin tests. Elevated high-sensitivity troponin I levels indicate myocardial injury, which can be caused by conditions such as heart attack, myocarditis, or heart failure. This test is used to diagnose and monitor acute coronary syndrome, assess the severity of heart damage, and guide treatment decisions. It provides valuable information for managing heart health, evaluating the effectiveness of therapies, and preventing complications associated with heart muscle damage.
