People without heart damage have troponin levels less than 0.5 ng/mL.
The ECG is the most useful test to determine whether a myocardial infarction has occurred. The electrocardiogram traces the electrical signals in the heart.
Troponin T is a protein released when the heart muscle is damaged. Normal levels of Troponin T generally range from 0 to 0.04 ng/mL, but this can vary slightly depending on the specific assay used by different laboratories. Elevated levels may indicate conditions such as myocardial infarction or other forms of heart injury. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate interpretation of test results.

Troponin is a cardiac enzyme that your heart releases under stress.
The specific test for heart infarctions, commonly known as myocardial infarctions or heart attacks, is the measurement of cardiac biomarkers in the blood, particularly troponin levels. Elevated troponin indicates damage to the heart muscle. Additionally, an electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to assess the heart's electrical activity and identify any abnormalities associated with a heart attack. Other imaging tests may also be employed to evaluate heart function and blood flow.
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.
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.

Diabetes affects A1C levels by causing them to be elevated. Individuals without diabetes have A1C levels between 4% - 5.9%. A blood test meter will help to monitor these levels.
