Description: A troponin test measures the levels troponin T or troponin I proteins in the blood. These proteins are released when the heart muscle has been damaged, such as occurs with a heart attack. The more damage there is to the heart, the greater the amount of troponin T and I there will be in the blood. Troponin tests are primarily ordered to help diagnose a heart attack and rule out other conditions with similar signs and symptoms.
