About This Test
The qualitative Troponin I test is a rapid immunochromatographic assay designed to detect the presence (Positive/Negative) of Troponin I in human blood or serum, indicating cardiac muscle damage
Troponin-I is found in blood at elevated concentrations approximately 4-6 hours after the onset of chest pain, peaks at 12 – 24 hours and remains elevated for upto 8 – 10 days. Troponin-I is also found in skeletal muscles. The skeletal form of Troponin-I differs from its cardiac isomer in its amino acid composition, making cardiac Troponin-I as one of the most specific & sensitive markers of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Troponin I is a cardiac protein released into the blood when heart muscle cells are damaged.
It regulates muscle contraction in the heart and is specific to cardiac tissue.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
