Strenuous endurance exercise such as marathons or triathlons can lead to increased troponin levels in up to one-third of subjects, but it is not linked to adverse health effects in these competitors. [27] [28] [29] High troponin T levels have also been reported in patients with inflammatory muscle diseases such as polymyositis or dermatomyositis.
High sensitive troponin I test can help to proactively identify individuals at high cardiovascular risk long before symptoms appear. [21] [22] The higher the troponin I level in asymptomatic individuals, the higher the likelihood of subclinical myocardial injury. It provides greater accuracy in identifying persons at low CVD risk. [22] [21]
Troponin T binds to tropomyosin and helps position it on actin, [2] and together with the rest of the troponin complex, modulates contraction of striated muscle. [3] The cardiac subtype of troponin T is especially useful in the laboratory diagnosis of heart attack because it is released into the blood-stream when damage to heart muscle occurs. [4]
Three key ones are troponin I, Troponin T, and CK-MB, which is a combination of creatine kinase enzymes M and B. d Both troponin I and T levels can be elevated in the blood within 2-4 hours after infarction, and usually peak around 48 hours, but stay elevated for 7-10 days.

Cardiac muscle troponin T (cTnT) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNNT2 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Cardiac TnT is the tropomyosin -binding subunit of the troponin complex, which is located on the thin filament of striated muscles and regulates muscle contraction in response to alterations in intracellular calcium ion concentration.
The level of the troponin, as well as a change over time, are useful in measuring and diagnosing or excluding myocardial infarctions, and the diagnostic accuracy of troponin testing is improving over time. [72] One high-sensitivity cardiac troponin can rule out a heart attack as long as the ECG is normal. [83] [84]
Ca 2+ binds to a protein called troponin, which is bound to the actin filament. This binding causes a shape change in the troponin which exposes areas on the actin, to which the head of the myosin filament binds. The binding of the myosin head to actin is known as a cross-bridge.
