The doctor will prescribe a troponin test under the following situations:

• Before and after a medical procedure, if the patient is at a high risk of heart injury during the procedure
• If there are any symptoms of a heart attack, the troponin test is done to confirm the diagnosis

The troponin test is typically done to confirm or rule out a heart attack. The test is repeated multiple times in the next 6 to 24 hours for a comprehensive assessment. The test is critical as it helps to detect and manage a heart attack, along with other cardiac conditions.

Any kind of damage caused to the heart muscle can release troponin in the bloodstream. Other conditions that cause the troponin levels to rise are:

• Chronic kidney disease
• Blood clots in the lungs
• Congestive heart failure
• Heart surgery
• Irregular heart rhythms
• Emotional strain like stress or grief
• Strenuous exercise
• Sepsis

The test is extremely crucial after a silent heart attack, which can be fatal.

No preparation is required for the troponin test. It can be done without fasting.

During the Troponin Test

A troponin test is typically performed in hospitals or during medical emergencies. Once the initial troponin test is done, a highly sensitive troponin test is done many times within 24 hours to monitor changes in troponin levels. For non-emergency cases, the troponin test can be done at home as well. Trained phlebotomists will arrive at the location to collect the blood sample. They use new sterilized needles, gloves, and the vein finder device to locate the best vein to draw blood from. The entire process is hygienic and done following all safety protocols.
