Troponin
I have a very high troponin level and I've been told that if I (or the doctors) can't figure it out I could die. When I say high I mean 2.94 was the lowest it has been in 9 years

Something is going on, and I hope they nail if for you quickly. If tests show no cardiomyopathy, then it might be:

I was told it's high when you have a heart attack. Hubby was over 400 during his. Under 14 is ideal....the kidneys will absorb lower levels...but im not a doctor.
I wonder if there are different scales for measuring troponin? I had a NSTEMI with troponin levels over 6,000.
From everything i've read aand heard from doctors our cardiac troponin level should be 0.001 an elevated level is 0.004 to 0.006 which after a heart attack that goes down. My cardiac level goes up on average, it's 10.898. The local cardiologist in my area have no clue what to do. I'm just looking for answers.
Are you sure you're reading the figure correctly? AFAIK, it's nm/ml, or 'nanomoles per milliliter.' I haven't seen other scales, although I suppose one might use deciliters....not sure why.

All that I know is what the doctors have told me. I was told that after a heart attack. That the proponent goes down in 24 hours, more or less, for some reason. I've had eight heart attacks, and the troponin goes up.It does not go down. After 9 years of this, I'm sick and tired of it, I have chest pains daily, and all the doctors I've seen say go to the hospital

1 ReactionApparently there are different scales in use. "The read out states: Normal range: 0.00 - 53.00 ng/L" which I interpret to mean nanograms per liter.
