Very high levels of troponin are a sign that a heart attack has occurred. Most patients who have had a heart attack have increased troponin levels within 6 hours. After 12 hours, almost everyone who has had a heart attack will have raised levels. Troponin levels may remain high for 1 to 2 weeks after a heart attack.

Troponin is a muscle protein that attaches to both actin and tropomyosin. It is concerned with calcium binding and inhibiting cross-bridge formation. Troponin is a complex of three proteins: troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T. The distribution of these isoforms varies between cardiac muscle and slow- and fast-twitch skeletal muscle.
