| | Troponin: The Test |
 | | Troponin tests are primarily ordered for people who have chest pain to see if they have had a heart attack or other damage to their heart. | | | Troponin tests are usually ordered, often along with other heart tests such as CK, CK—MB, or myoglobin, when a patient has prolonged chest pain or other symptoms that could be related to heart injury. | | | Troponin is not generally affected by damage to other muscles so that muscle injections, accidents, strenuous exercise, and drugs that can damage muscle do not affect troponin levels. |

| | Troponin |
| | Troponins are components of muscle contractile structure along with actin and tropomyosin. | | | Troponin results must be taken in context with the patient's clinical circumstances. | | | It should be noted that troponin I and T are not "early markers" of cardiac events and a negative result shortly after the onset of chest pain is of no more value than a negative CK-MB. |

| | Troponin tests for cardiac damage [Nov 2001; 93-5] |
| | We know that patients with chest pain and elevated ST-segments of an electrocardiogram are at risk and should be treated. | | | The pathway cannot be described in detail here, but involved electrocardiograms, clinical examination and judgement, and the use of troponin I, CK-MB and myoglobin tests done using a point of care testing machine at presentation and 30, 60 and 90 minutes later. | | | One of the problems with new diagnostic tests is getting one's brain around what they mean and how and when to use them. |

| | Heart Info - Heart FAQ |
| | Thus, troponins have emerged as one of the simplest and most effective ways for cardiologists to estimate the severity of a person's heart attack, which in turn, is critical for deciding upon the best forms of heart attack therapy. | | | One of the best examples of the latter is in the assessment of cardiac "troponins." Since their discovery in 1989, "troponin levels" have helped to redefine the ways doctors determine whether a person is having or has had a heart attack. | | | Troponins also rise in proportion to the amount of heart muscle injury. |
