Mine was high at 170 and I went to the hospital. The Cardiologist is the only one who can tell you what is really happening after he does testing.

Both my Troponin and BNP readings are higher than those of healthy heart people, yet they are normal for me. They are measures of different proteins produced when 'heart failure" occurs. Besides heart attacks, HCM, heart surgery, there are probably many other things that can cause these numbers to be high. Please talk to your care team about this to ease your mind. I did, mine appreciated that I did a little research and asked questions.
