Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) is a protein found in cardiac muscle with a molecular weight of 22,500 Daltons. Together with Troponin T and C, it forms a structural complex which the components are released into the blood circulation after cardiac damage is broken up.Troponin I is founded in skeletal muscles as well, but it differs in its amino acid composition from cardiac Troponin I so that these two Troponins can be immunologically distinguished. Troponin I is released into blood stream soon after onset of acute cardiac damage. When sensitive immunological methods are utilized, a detectable level is reached approximately 4-6 hours after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). cTnI concentration in normal serum is below 0.06 ngml. Levels as high as 100-300 ngml have been measured with some AMI patients. Troponin I is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the detection of cardiac Troponin I in serum and Plasma samples. It can be used together with other diagnostic methods to assess cardiac damage caused by a myocardiac infarction.
