A member asked:
Is troponin typically elevated in acute heart failure?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Acute heart damage: yes. Heart failure, a typical end result of multiple clinically silent heart attacks, not necessarily. Troponin from muscle cells, heart & others, is released when muscle cells are damaged by ischemia & self-destruct (apoptosis). Troponin elevation in venous blood samples is short lived. Elevations are routinely missed by individual spot samples, especially if not high enough http://goo.gl/Blh6rW.
