TROPONIN - T, Qualitative*

Typically, heart disease is a very serious and silent disease as it does not give warning until a serious episode occurs like a heart stroke. The heart is a very vital part of our body which pumps the blood throughout the body to deliver oxygen and minerals to every cell while removing carbon dioxide and waste from tissues. If the heart muscle has been damaged, to confirm this doctors determine this by suggesting Troponin-T qualitative test. The Troponin-T (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) test is an important diagnostic tool to diagnose patients with heart disease through the identification of low grade chronic inflammation.

Troponin-T qualitative test is very cheap, quick, accurate and affordable so many physicians recommend this test to patients for normal routine checkups. The price of the Trop-T Qualitative test is around INR 999 to INR 2000 in Delhi.

What is the Troponin-T Test?

A Troponin T Test is a blood test that detects damage to the heart muscle. Troponin-T is considered a protein that is found in cardiac muscle cells, which will pass from the injured (i.e. heart attack) cardiac muscle cells into the blood if the cells have suffered damage.

The Clinical Qualitative Troponin test only looks for the presence or absence of Troponin-T in the blood and makes no attempt to measure the exact level of Troponin-T present. The quick turnaround time (from getting blood to determining if Troponin-T is present) makes this test a useful test for use in the Emergency Department by physicians evaluating whether their patient is probably or likely to be having a heart attack.
