What is considered a high level? The normal range is between 0 and 0.4 ng/mL. Anything above this is considered high and potentially problematic. The higher the level, the more serious the condition is. Treatment for high troponin levels involves resolving the underlying health problem that’s...
The use of troponin is well established in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but troponin measurement is also used in other acute and nonacute settings. In patients with suspected AMI, early decision-making is crucial to allow rapid treatment and further diagnostic ...

There were no significant interactions with study treatment. Conclusions--Troponin-I is detected in 98.5% and elevated in 9.2% of atrial fibrillation patients. The hs-TnI level is independently associated with a raised risk of stroke, cardiac death, and major bleeding and improves risk ...
This paper will review the published literature on the implementation of high-sensitivity troponin in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction, with a special focus on accelerated diagnostic protocols used in the emergency department and other acute care settings. Recent Findings Since the FD...

Treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs such as tocilizumab, an interleukin-6 receptor antagonist, has been shown to reduce troponin release and reduce the myocardial infarct size in AMI patients and it may therefore have cardioprotective properties. Methods This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, ...

so trying to figure out who we want to work up for a PE (pulmonary embolism) is probably our biggest conundrum. A lot of people will get a little bit of a troponin bump just from probably that hypoxic constraint on the heart so that can be a little tricky to figure out who needs to...
