A member asked:
Patient had sepsis. patient died... if multiple troponin levels say normal, then death cannot be from acute hf and conjestve hf, am i correct?

No: Troponin is a marker of acute death of heart muscle cells. A person may be in heart failure due to prior damage to the heart and still have normal troponin levels.
