How our test process works!
Troponin-I (ICT) is a rapid cardiac marker test used to detect heart muscle injury, especially in suspected myocardial infarction (heart attack). It measures the level of cardiac Troponin-I, a protein released into the blood when heart muscle cells are damaged.
Risk assessment
-
Helps assess risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
-
Used for early detection of heart attack in emergency settings.
-
Guides treatment decisions and monitoring of cardiac injury in ICU or post-surgery patients.
Normal Range:
-
Negative / Normal: Troponin-I not detected or < 0.04 ng/mL (varies slightly by lab).
-
Positive: ≥ 0.04 ng/mL indicates possible myocardial injury.
Interpretation:
-
Normal / Negative: No significant heart muscle damage.
-
Slightly Elevated: Could suggest minor myocardial strain, myocarditis, or other cardiac conditions.
-
Markedly Elevated: Indicates acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) or severe cardiac injury.
Sample Type:
Whole blood, serum, or plasma (usually from a venous blood sample).
