Troponin tests are primarily ordered for people who have chest pain to see if they have had a heart attack or other damage to their heart. Normally, troponin levels are very low; even slight elevations can indicate some degree of damage to the heart.
Atypical chest pain is experienced outside the chest bone. It tends to be sudden, sharp and short-lived. The causes vary and may originate in the left chest, throat, shoulder, abdomen, back or arm. Atypical chest pain's causes include overexertion, spasms, acid indigestion and headaches. People with lower thresholds for pain are more likely to complain of atypical chest pain and are likely to have greater anxiety and depression.
Syncope is temporary loss of consciousness and posture, described as "fainting" or "passing out." It's usually related to temporary insufficient blood flow to the brain. normal chest pain form the accident, syncope is when you lose conscience...not sure about the other Dehal91 gives a correct explanation of what is what. But she doesn't link them. I'll help her with that. Your mum must have had atypical chest pain before (so pain of unknown orirgin). She had syncopes (fainted), probably too in the car and had an accident. By the troponines, the docs found out it's a cardiac problem, probably an infarct.
So out of your story I make up she's had a heart attack the rising of the troponines proof that), probably small one.
But needs to be taken care of.
She'll be fine...Look after her ok? Well troponin is a group of three proteins and is imporant to muscle contraction in skeletal and cardiac muscle. As a test, elevated troponin levels means that there has been some damage to the heart muscle, like in a heart attack or lots of other heart conditions. Anything that causes damage to the muscles of the heart can raise a person's troponin levels.
Syncope is a temporary loss of conciousness.
There are a number of things which could have happened to your mom, but her doctors know the best treatment for her and will do the right tests to find out what happened so they can fix it. |
