Test Necessity
A troponin test is essential if you exhibit heart attack symptoms such as chest pain, discomfort in arms, back, or neck, breathing issues, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, sweating, or irregular heartbeat. Seeking immediate medical attention is vital in such cases, potentially saving your life.
Furthermore, troponin testing is necessary before surgeries affecting the heart. While its primary purpose is heart attack confirmation, elevated troponin levels can indicate heart muscle damage due to conditions like chronic kidney disease, pulmonary embolism, congestive heart failure, heart surgery, valve diseases, irregular heart rhythms, sepsis, or intense physical or emotional stress.
Test Preparation
A Troponin test usually doesn't require special preparation or fasting. It is best to consult your healthcare provider about dietary restrictions and medication continuation. If you're taking biotin supplements (vitamin B7), inform your healthcare provider as it can affect Troponin levels, potentially showing lower values than actual.
During the Troponin Test
The Troponin test involves drawing blood, usually from a vein in your arm. PharmEasy will dispatch a skilled professional who will insert an IV needle to fill test tubes with blood. A Vein Finder device is used to locate a hand vein, and blood is collected using a disposable syringe, and stored in a sealed, barcoded vial. Following the needle puncture, the site is sanitized and covered with a bandage.

Ranges
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.
Test Result Interpretation
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.
Risks and Limitations
Risks / Possible Complications

Limitations

Frequently Asked Questions
I have booked the Troponin I Rapid test for a health check-up. Why is this test recommended for individuals showing signs of a heart attack?
The Troponin I test is highly recommended to assess the risk of a heart attack when someone exhibits symptoms. It involves drawing blood from a vein in the forearm. Normal troponin I levels indicate no cardiac damage, while elevated levels suggest potential heart attack, kidney disease, or blood clots in the lungs. Consultation with a physician or specialist, and further investigation by a cardiologist, is necessary.
What is the price of the Troponin I Rapid test?
The Troponin I test is offered at a discounted price of just Rs. 1,649 in the city. However, the price can vary depending upon the locality as well as the availability of discount offers. There are additional offers and discounts (subject to availability) for which you may qualify, further lowering the price of the test.
Are the phlebotomists properly qualified for sample collection in Mumbai?
PharmEasy technicians undergo a rigorous training program conducted by a dedicated team. The technicians' performance is carefully assessed based on key performance indicators (KPIs) that include punctuality, strict adherence to NABL guidelines, and efficient sample collection.
Is it possible to get a troponin test in Mumbai through a walk-in visit, or is an appointment necessary?
When you book your troponin test in Mumbai with PharmEasy, you can take advantage of the home collection service, allowing you to choose the location and time that suits you best. No walk-in visit or appointment is required.
Do I have to fast before taking the Troponin test?
Not at all. Fasting is not a requirement when you are getting the Troponin test.
What does a positive result in the Troponin test indicate?
A positive result suggests the presence of troponins in the blood, which can be associated with various conditions, including heart attacks, heart failure, myocarditis, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs), and heart muscle damage caused by specific anticancer medications like anthracyclines.
How accurate are the results of the Troponin test?
The accuracy of Troponin I Rapid test results can be affected by false negatives, which may occur when troponin levels do not immediately rise after a cardiac event. As a result, troponin levels are often retested over a 24-hour period to check for increasing values.
What are the typical troponin level ranges considered as normal?
Troponin levels may vary based on the specific type being measured. For instance, the normal range for troponin I typically falls between 0 and 0.04 ng/mL, while for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn), normal values are generally below 14 ng/L. It's important to note that various heart-related conditions, such as atrial fibrillation, can lead to elevated troponin levels, making it a valuable marker in diagnosing cardiac issues.
