Heart diseases can be a major issue if they are left undiagnosed. Your doctor may prescribe you to take a troponin test if you show the following symptoms:

• Pain in the chest, neck, back, or jaw
• Pain or discomfort in one or both arms
• Dizziness
• Lightheadedness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Unnecessary sweating
• Fatigue

Apart from that, if you have had recent heart surgery, an evaluation of troponin levels in your blood can be helpful in understanding your heart's recovery rate. In conditions like unstable angina, a troponin test is useful to diagnose the condition accurately.

For a troponin test, no specific test preparation such as fasting is required. Some vitamin supplements such as vitamin B7 or biotin may affect the test results. Therefore, your doctor may ask you to hold off on such supplements (if any) before the test is conducted.

During the Troponin Test

Troponin levels are quantified using your blood sample. For that, an experienced phlebotomist visits your home for sample collection. With the help of a vein finder, your vein is comfortably located and blood is drawn using a sterile syringe. The sample is transferred into a collection tube and after safe transportation, the testing is done in high-quality PharmEasy Labs.

As this is a qualitative test, there are no specific ranges. The results only show positive or negative results, indicating if Troponin I is present or not in blood.

The Troponin rapid test is either positive or negative. A confirmed positive Troponin I Rapid Test indicates the presence of troponin I in the blood. The presence of troponin confirms damage to heart muscles due to heart attacks. A negative Troponin I Rapid Test indicates the absence of troponin I in the blood.

Your doctor may want to investigate further by prescribing other tests like ECG, creatine kinase, 2D echo, complete blood count, lactate dehydrogenase, renal function tests and vitamin B12 assays to find the cause of acute coronary syndrome or heart attack.
