What is the TROP-T Test used for?
This test is usually used to diagnose heart muscle damage, heart failure or a heart attack. It can also be used for monitoring the condition called angina, where blood flow to the heart becomes limited and can lead to chest pain.
TROP-T Test is also taken after you are hospitalized when diagnosed with a heart attack. This test is repeatedly taken two or more times within a day (24 hours period). The troponin level changes during this period can be detected using this TROP-T Test.
TROP-T Test is useful in diagnosing other heart-related conditions such as stable angina, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure (DHF), obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).
What is included in the TROP-T Test?
When your healthcare agent suspects you have heart muscle damage or heart failure, he will order a blood test for checking the levels of troponin. He may suggest you take other tests like chest X-ray, EKG, blood count test, 2D echo for eliminating the other reasons that may lead to the same symptoms as related to the heart.
The Troponin test may be accompanied by other tests like CK-MB or myoglobin. But the troponin test is highly specific for heart injury and the levels of troponin are elevated for a long time after a heart injury or heart attack.

What do abnormal TROP-T Test results indicate?
The troponin is not found or very less in blood when you are normal and doesn’t have any heart related medical condition. A normal troponin level in blood is below 0.04 ng/mL. If the troponin level is higher than 0.40 ng/mL, this could be an indication of heart injury.
If your test level is between 0.05 to 0.39, you will have to repeat the test. Even if there is a mild increase in the level of troponin, it may mean there has been some heart damage. It is better to get your heart tested. Very high levels of troponin indicate the patient has suffered a heart attack.
When you have suffered a heart attack, the level of troponin starts elevating and becomes high within the first 6 hours of the attack. It remains elevated even for one or two weeks.
An increase in troponin levels can be due to other conditions:
- Coronary artery spasm
- Blockage of a lung artery by a blood clot, fat, or tumour cells (pulmonary embolism)
- Inflammation of the heart muscle usually due to a virus (myocarditis)
- Trauma that injures the heart, such as a car accident
- Long-term kidney disease
- Congestive heart failure
- Weakening of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy)
- Abnormally fast heartbeat
- Prolonged exercise (for example, due to marathons or triathlons)
- High blood pressure in lung arteries (pulmonary hypertension)
It can also be due to the result of any medical procedures
- Open heart surgery
- Cardiac angioplasty/stenting
- Radiofrequency ablation of the heart
- Heart defibrillation or electrical cardioversion (purposeful shocking of the heart by medical personnel to correct an abnormal heart rhythm)
