Troponin is a cardiac enzyme that your heart releases under stress.
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.

Troponin is a major component of muscle tissue. It is composed of troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T. Troponin interacts with tropomyosin and myosin to create muscle contraction.
The three parts to troponin are troponin C, which binds calcium ions, troponin I, which inhibits the interaction between actin and myosin, and troponin T, which anchors troponin complex to tropomyosin.
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.
They generally advise you how long it will take at the test, but it took us exactly 2 months to the day we did the test.

The theraputic troponin level is 0.00.
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.
Troponin tests are ordered to evaluate someone who has chest pain to test for a heart attack or other damage to the heart. It is ordered when a person with a heart attack comes to the emergency room and are preformed every several hours.
