Question 1

i have had some lab work to find out my troponin levels and they were .13 and the other one is .18 is this normal or are these values high?

Accepted Answer

That depends: On the type of troponin level tested: trop-i or trop-t.  Generally anything 0-0.1micrograms/l is within normal range for trop-t, trop i is &lt;10 micrograms/l.  It also depends highly on the labs "normal ranges" as these differ from lab to lab.  Always good to stick with the same lab and methodology to follow trends in labs.  If at the er for chest pain to rule out mi, they would look at ekg's too.

Question 2

can esophogeal spasm cause troponin t levels of 0.28, 0.26 and 0.24 over a 12 hour period and subtle abnormality on ekg one time and then normal ekg?

Accepted Answer

No: This could be mild heart attack. You may wanna consult a cardiologist without further delay.

Question 3

takotsubo syndrome' can this present in milder forms? for e.g shortness of breath, bradycardia & frequent ectopic beats since sudden shock grief of a loved one. but normal troponin levels & ecg?

Accepted Answer

: EKG criteria for the diagnosis of takotsubo's syndrome are described. One would also have to demonstrate transient echocardiograohic signs of diminished myocardial contraction. In my opinion,the changes you describe don't qualify. Frequent ectopic beats and shortness of breath,especially at rest instead of with exertion, can be caused by stress and anxiety. What does your cardiologist think?

Question 4

i had chest pains radiating to my neck and sharp pain in my back. i had an ecg and stress test 2d echo one and all were normal. my troponin level was 413 pg/ml. the dr here told me it was severe heartburn. does this sound likely?

Accepted Answer

Chest pains: The work up sounds reasonable and good. Glad it is all negative! Do you have any symptoms of heartburn or pain in the upper right side of abdomen after eating?
I would say heartburn is definitely a reasonable differential diagnosis based on the information you provided.

Question 5

what is normal troponin level?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on the assay being used...Need to check against reference range listed next to the result as this varies & there are different kinds of troponins.

Question 6

is a 0.010 troponin level normal?

Accepted Answer

: With the understanding that different labs may have different ranges for normal, above value appears normal. All labs have to be interpreted in proper clinical context otherwise.

Question 7

what is a normal troponin level in a 22 year old male?

Accepted Answer

Troponin: Troponin level normally would be virtually undetectable in a normal 22 y/o male

Question 8

if multiple troponin levels are normal, how unlikely is a person to be having acute hf & conjestive hf?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain.: Clinical situation would be more telling at the start, but I can tell you that troponin values are just one part of the clinical picture for a patient having some acute heart issue.

Question 9

troponin i levels tested at 0.020 ng/ml is that normal?

Accepted Answer

: I  believe that at most, if not all, labs up to .04 is considered within normal limits.

Question 10

30 year old male troponin i level 0.03 ng/ml. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Reference range: What method was used for the test? What is reference range for the test? Different methods give different results. All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.
