Cardiac troponins are highly sensitive markers that indicate heart muscle damage, while NT-proBNP helps detect and monitor heart failure. These blood tests are essential in identifying heart attacks, even when symptoms are vague or atypical.
At Epic Heart Clinic, we offer rapid cardiac biomarker testing with same-day results. These tests are especially crucial for patients with chest pain, shortness of breath, or those at high risk of heart disease.
Troponin levels rise when there’s injury to the heart muscle — even minor damage — allowing for early intervention before complications arise. NT-proBNP, on the other hand, helps us monitor the severity of heart failure and guide treatment adjustments.
Combining these tests with imaging and ECG ensures a comprehensive cardiac evaluation, enabling us to provide targeted, timely care that can save lives.
