BI209 - TROPONIN T Detail

Troponin T test measures the level of cardiac Troponin-T protein in the blood, which is released into the bloodstream when there is injury or damage to the heart muscle (myocardium). It is a highly sensitive and specific cardiac biomarker used in the assessment of heart-related conditions.

This test is commonly recommended for the evaluation of chest pain, suspected myocardial infarction (heart attack), acute coronary syndrome, and monitoring of cardiac injury. Elevated Troponin-T levels suggest recent or ongoing heart muscle damage and assist clinicians in determining the severity and timing of the cardiac event. Results are interpreted together with clinical symptoms, ECG findings, and other cardiac tests for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
