Cardiac Troponin-I (cTnI) is a protein that is released into the bloodstream when the heart muscle is damaged. It is one of the tests used to help diagnose a heart attack and determine how much heart muscle has been damaged.
cTnI tests measure the amount of this protein in the blood. This can be helpful in diagnosing a heart attack as well as seeing how much heart muscle has been damaged. While CK-MB is released into the bloodstream right away when the heart muscle is damaged, cTnI is released more gradually over the course of 8–12 hours after the injury. This makes it a more reliable marker of heart damage.
The cTnI test is usually done along with other tests, such as CK-MB, in people who have signs and symptoms that suggest a heart attack. The test is done by drawing a sample of blood and then measuring the amount of cTnI in it. A high cTnI level usually suggests that the person has experienced a heart attack, although other conditions can lead to elevated cTnI levels, too. The results of this test, along with those of other tests, can help doctors determine the cause of chest pain and the best way to treat it.
cTnI levels can take up to a day to rise to their peak after a heart attack, but they can take weeks to return to normal. Consequently, the test is typically repeated within 1–3 days of the initial test to check for any further damage. It can be repeated as often as needed to monitor the person's heart health.
