A troponin I test measures the level of troponin in your blood. It is a type of protein found in the muscles of the heart. It is not present in the blood normally and is found when damage or injury to the heart is suspected, as in a heart attack. This test is ordered if the person experiences the symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, light headedness, etc. It also allows for the doctor to assess the extent of damage, thus allowing for guidance in treatment decisions and determining if the current treatments are effective.
