Troponin testing is done to diagnose a heart attack and rule out conditions which present with similar signs and symptoms of a heart attack. Though the concentrations of troponin I and troponin T are different, either of the tests can be performed as they provide the same information. Troponin I and troponin T are proteins which are found in the cardiac muscle. When there is damage to the cardiac muscles Troponin I and troponin T are released into the blood. Troponin tests are also used to evaluate people for heart injury due to causes other than a heart attack, helps to distinguish chest pain that may be due to other causes, and to evaluate the progress of angina. Troponin tests are usually ordered along with other Cardiac markers like CK-MB or Myoglobin. However, troponin tests are the preferred test if suspecting a heart attack as they are more specific for cardiac injury than any other tests and remain elevated for a longer duration.Troponin I is tested Immediately after an episode of angina. A series of troponin tests are done when a person has signs and symptoms of a heart attack (pain in chest, shoulders, neck, jaw and/or shortness of breath), when angina worsens and it does not improve with rest.Read more
