A High Sensitive Troponin-I, Quantitative test measures the concentration of Troponin-I in the bloodstream. It is a cardiac-specific protein released into the bloodstream when there is damage or injury to the heart muscles. Elevated levels of highly sensitive Troponin-I serve as a sensitive indicator of cardiac events, such as Myocardial infarction (heart attack) or other acute coronary syndrome. This test helps doctors determine whether a patient has experienced a heart attack. 

Troponin levels typically rise sharply within 3 to 12 hours after a heart attack, peaking about 24 hours later. Doctors often repeat this test several times over a 24-hour period to assess the extent of heart damage. 

High Sensitive Troponin-I, Quantitative test helps doctors assess and monitor cardiac health, enabling early detection and timely intervention in case of a cardiac injury. 

A fasting blood sugar test measures the glucose level in the body under overnight fasting conditions. Glucose serves as the body's energy currency and is broken down through metabolism to produce energy. Hormones and enzymes produced by the liver and pancreas control this process. The hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels. When these levels are high, such as after a meal, insulin is secreted to transport glucose into cells for energy production. Elevated glucose levels in the body after fasting may indicate a risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes, which can be of two types- Type 1, caused by little or no insulin production, and Type 2, caused by insulin resistance or decreased insulin production.

A Lipid Profile assesses the level of specific fat molecules called lipids in the blood and helps determine the risk of heart ailments. This test determines the amount of different types of lipids, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Lipids play a pivotal role in the functioning of the body. They are crucial components of the cell membranes and hormones, provide cushioning, and are a storehouse of energy. Any alterations in the lipid levels may lead to potential heart ailments, making their monitoring crucial.
