Is Istat troponin high sensitivity?
Troponin-I proteins are released from the heart and can be found at elevated levels in the blood when the heart muscle has been damaged. Abbott’s High Sensitivity Troponin-I blood test measures very low levels of troponin, allowing doctors to evaluate heart attack in patients within two to four hours of admission.
What is Istat troponin?

How often do you recheck troponin levels?
Concerning troponins can be repeated as often as every 2-3 hours. When assessing the acuity of injury, think about troponin trends in terms of changes in log units (i.e. 0.05 to 0.07 vs 0.05 to 5). If suspicious for ACS but no ST changes on EKG, try posterior and right-sided EKG leads!
