What does this test check?
Troponin is a protein released into the blood when heart muscle is damaged, as in a heart attack. A raised troponin, with symptoms and ECG changes, helps doctors diagnose a heart attack.
Troponin can take a few hours to rise after symptoms start, so doctors often repeat it. It can also rise in kidney disease, severe infection and after heavy exercise. High-sensitivity troponin is also available on your doctor's advice.
