A member asked:
Can you die from elevated troponin levels?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: An elevated level in the blood may indicate heart damage. The amount of elevation is proportional to the amount of damage. Thus a massive heart attack would result in high level of troponin elevation and would suggest more severe heart damage.

Indirectly: Since elevated troponins may mean a heart attack and since heart attacks can be fatal ; indirectly yes.
