High Sensitive Troponin-I

The High Sensitive Troponin-I test is a blood test used to measure the level of a protein called troponin-I in the bloodstream. Troponin-I is released into the blood when the heart muscle is damaged, such as during a heart attack. This test is highly sensitive, meaning it can detect even small amounts of troponin-I, allowing for earlier detection of heart injury or damage. It is often used in emergency rooms to help diagnose heart attacks and assess the severity of the damage.
