Test Details

The high sensitive troponin-I (hsTnI) test is a blood test that measures the levels of troponin-I, a protein found in cardiac muscle cells. Troponin-I is released into the bloodstream when there is damage or stress to the heart, such as a heart attack or unstable angina.

The hsTnI test is a more sensitive version of the standard troponin-I test, which allows for the detection of smaller amounts of troponin-I in the blood. This increased sensitivity allows for the earlier detection of cardiac injury, as well as the ability to monitor changes in troponin-I levels over time.

The hsTnI test is commonly used in emergency departments to help diagnose a heart attack. If the test shows elevated levels of troponin-I, it indicates that there has been damage to the heart muscle.

The results of the hsTnI test, along with other clinical information, can help healthcare providers determine the appropriate treatment and management plan for the patient.

It is important to note that elevated troponin-I levels can also be seen in conditions other than heart attacks, such as heart failure, inflammation of the heart muscle, or severe infections. Therefore, the hsTnI test is not used alone to diagnose a heart attack but is considered in conjunction with other clinical findings and tests.
