What is Troponin-I HS
1 answer
Troponin-I HS (High Sensitivity) is a biomarker used for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and other cardiac conditions. It is a protein that is released into the bloodstream when myocardial cells are damaged, and its levels can be measured to help diagnose and monitor heart conditions. The high sensitivity version of the troponin test allows for the detection of even very small amounts of troponin in the blood, making it a more accurate tool for diagnosing heart conditions.
