Discomfort or bruising may occur at the puncture site or the person may feel dizzy or faint. Pressure to the puncture site until the bleeding stops reduces bruising. Warm packs to the puncture site relieve discomfort.
Troponin is a cardiac enzyme that your heart releases under stress.
The test has no harmful effects.
The test has no harmful effects.
People without heart damage have troponin levels less than 0.5 ng/mL.
The test tube top used for troponin testing is typically red or gold. This color coding helps to easily identify the specific test being performed.
Some of the side effects from a barium swallow test could be cramping, vomiting, or troubles swallowing. It could also go down the windpipe and cause infections or breathing trouble.

There are no complications or side effects of this test.
Troponin is a protein found in cardiac muscle that is released into the bloodstream when the heart is damaged, such as during a heart attack. A troponin blood test measures the levels of this protein to help diagnose heart conditions. Elevated troponin levels indicate myocardial injury and can guide treatment decisions. The test is typically performed using a blood sample taken from a vein.
When elevated troponin levels are detected, a healthcare provider typically prescribes a cardiac stress test or a coronary angiography to further evaluate the heart's function and blood flow. These tests help determine the underlying cause of the elevated troponin, which may indicate conditions like myocardial infarction or other forms of cardiac injury. Additional tests, such as an echocardiogram, may also be considered to assess heart structure and function.
Troponin - this is an enzyme only found in heart muscle tissue. When damage occurs (as in a heart attack) the muscle will release troponin into the bloodstream.
There are 2 types of Troponin (Troponin T and Troponin I). These are proteins found in the heart muscle specifically. The levels go up if the heart muscle is injured.Both are used to diagnose Acute Myocardial Infarction (MI or Heart attack). More cardiac-specific than CPK or CK-MB. In other words, better test of heart injury than CPK or CK-MB.The level increases rapidly 3-12 h after MI, peaks at 24 h, and may stay elevated for several days (Troponin I 5-7 d, Troponin T up to 14 d). Serial testing recommended to rule in or rule out an MI after the onset of Chest pain.
