Heart Assure (hs-Ctnl Troponin I)

What is Heart Assure?

Heart Assure is a simple blood test which provides risk prediction for a possible cardiac event, even in apparently healthy and fit individuals. This test measures the level of heart specific protein - high sensitive Troponin I (hsTnI) in the blood.
It is a cardiac specific test with high sensitivity that measures even small levels of Troponin I in your blood which is released by your heart when there has been any injury in your heart.


Who should do Heart Assure?


Everyone should undergo this test to check their heart health
People who are obese, have high alcohol consumption, are active smokers, lead sedentary lifestyle, have unhealthy food habits
Patients in the age group of 35 and above suffering from diabetes / hypertension
Patients who are on therapy for some cardiac disease 



Why should I do this test / What’s the need to do this test?


Timely detection of underlying heart disease can save lives. Heart Assure will help in giving risk stratification of any cardiac event, even in seemly fit and healthy individual. In case, a patient gets intermediate to high risk levels in this test, he can take timely corrective measures to treat the disease and save his life.
Evidence shows even fit and seemly healthy individual of any age can have a sudden heart event. Doing this test as a predictive marker, will reveal if you are at risk of having such an event, so you can take measures immediately.



How is (hsTnI) High Sensitive Troponin I different from Troponin I?





High Sensitive Troponin I (hsTnI)


Troponin I (TnI)




Is used as a predictive marker


Is used in emergency hospital setting




Can measure very small amounts of Troponin in blood to provide risk stratification for future cardiac event even for apparently healthy population


Is measured in patients showing symptoms of MI in an emergency setting to diagnose ongoing cardiac episode




Holds potential in post-operative monitoring


Low utility in post-operative monitoring
