What is Troponin T? What do Troponins indicate?

The Troponins are known to belong to the family of proteins found in both the skeletal and heart (cardiac) muscle fibers that further produce muscular contraction.

 The Troponin T molecule has certain amino acid sequences that are found exclusively in the cardiac tissues. 

Heart Muscle Damage: When there is damage to your heart muscle and its cells, cardiac-specific troponin would be released into your bloodstream. 

Hence, these two markers namely (Troponin I and T) are extremely sensitive and specific indicators of any damage to your myocardium (Heart Muscle). 

In healthy people, higher the number, of troponin T presents in the bloodstream, higher would be the likelihood of any heart damage.

What is the Use of Troponin T Quantitative Test?

Troponin tests are used most commonly to confirm or rule out the heart attack. However, any kind of damage to heart muscle could cause an increase the level of Troponin T. The conditions otherwise, that lead to an increase in Trop T is as follows:

  • Kidney Disease (Chronic)
  • Pulmonary Embolism

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

Troponin T (cTnT)

The Troponin levels increase sharply within 3 (three) to 12 hours (twelve) post a heart attack and then it peaks about 24 hours after the patient has a heart attack. It is supposed to remain high for the next several days.

 

Following the patient’s heart attack, the troponin levels might be high for up (1-2) weeks. If the troponin levels are considered normal over the 12 hour period, it is also highly unlikely that the patient has a heart attack. The Troponin levels would also be elevated due to various other conditions, apart from heart attack.

It is seen that only 10% of the people with a heart failure could have a positive cardiac troponin test result. In case of the highly-sensitive TnT test that would be detected in 92% of the people.

The ESC 3-Hour Pathway

In patients who have been experiencing symptoms for about <6 hours, the second troponin measurement is also performed after 3 hours from the presentation, myocardial infarction would be ruled out if the cardiac troponin remains <99th percentile or >99th percentile without the significant change in the concentration.

To reduce the troponin levels, it is necessary to treat an underlying cause of your elevated levels. It is important to improve the cardiovascular health, which includes by reducing your high blood pressure or the high cholesterol. Some of the research shows that consuming the statins can further reduce high levels.
