The High Sensitivity Troponin I test is an advanced blood test used to detect very small levels of Troponin I, a protein released when the heart muscle is damaged. This test is highly useful for early detection of heart-related conditions such as heart attack (myocardial infarction) and helps assess chest pain or suspected cardiac injury. It can identify heart damage much earlier than routine troponin tests, supporting faster medical decision-making. Doctors may also recommend it to monitor heart health in high-risk individuals with diabetes, high BP, or cholesterol issues.
