A troponin test is usually used to determine if a person is having a heart attack or recently had a heart attack. Usually, the pain from a heart attack is sudden and intense, which makes them easy to recognise and get help. The symptoms are:

• Chest pain or discomfort
• Shortness of breath and dizziness
• Pain or discomfort in the neck, back, jaw, arm, or shoulder
• Nausea and cold sweats
• Lightheadedness
• Fatigue

Doctors may recommend a troponin test if someone has angina that is getting worse. This test also helps to detect and evaluate other causes of heart injury, such as acute pulmonary embolism, heart failure, myocarditis and end-stage renal disease.

This test is done on an emergency basis in hospitals when a patient is admitted with symptoms of a heart attack.

No preparation is required before the troponin test.

During the Troponin Test

To collect a blood sample, a phlebotomist from PharmEasy Labs will come to your home as per the time selected by you. A vein finder will be used to unerringly locate the suitable vein in your arm. The sample will be poured into a sterilised collection tube and taken to the lab for analysis.

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.
