Troponin I (Qualitative)
Qualitative detection of troponin I aids in diagnosing acute myocardial injury. It is used in suspected heart attack cases. Results require clinical correlation.
A troponin I test is used to confirm a heart attack. This is a prescription-based test, your doctor may suggest you take this test if you are experiencing symptoms of a heart attack, such as chest pain, sweating, nausea, shoulder and back pain, rapid heartbeat and an upset stomach. The test measures troponin levels. Troponin is a protein found in the cells of heart muscles. When the heart muscles become damaged, the troponin leaks into the blood. High troponin levels confirm heart attacks. Hence, the doctors use this test to rule out heart attacks. If the reports are negative and the heart attack is not detected, they focus on finding other reasons that could be causing the symptoms and high troponin levels.
