Troponin T(Tn-T)
Assessing myocardial infarction by monitoring Troponin T
Troponin T is a member of the troponin complex, proteins involved in the contraction of skeletal and heart muscles. It is known as an excellent biomarker to estimate myocardial damage. The Troponin-T test can provide the quantitative result in 12 minutes with fingertip blood.

In Your Medical Field
The presence of a cardiac-specific troponin in the circulation at levels above normal is a meaningful evidence of damage to cardiac muscle cells. Tests for the cause and status of the patients can be time-pressed in cases of myocardial infarction. It can provide on-site information on the level of TnT, which would be an essential component for the final assessment for the ongoing cardiac event.
