CI101-Cardiac Marker-Troponin I Test Kit - WHOLESALE Pack - 1000 Kits 25Test/Kit

A troponin test measures the level of troponin in a sample of your blood. Troponin is a protein that's found in the cells of your heart muscle. Troponin testing is mainly used to help diagnose heart attacks. Heart attacks damage the heart by suddenly blocking the blood flow that brings oxygen to part of the heart muscle. Without oxygen from blood, heart muscle cells die and release troponin.

Normally, troponin levels in blood are so low that only the most sensitive types of tests can measure them. But if your heart muscle is damaged, troponin leaks into your bloodstream, and your troponin blood levels will rise. Troponin test results can confirm damage to the heart muscle from a heart attack. The more damage there is to the heart, the more troponin is released into the blood. So, measuring the amount of troponin in the blood can also help estimate how much of the heart has been damaged.
