how cardiac troponin -I comes to its normal range?
my father's cardiac troponin result is negative .. it is about 0.10 NG/ML :( .less than the normal range (0.30 NG/ML)
The heart muscle need oxygen to function. Oxygen is supplied to the heart muscle via the coronary arteries. Because of the blockages in these arteries, your father's heart does not get enough oxygen. This causes the pain on his chest.
When this situation remains too long, heart muscle cells start to die. This raises the troponin level in the blood.
The supply of oxygen to his heart will be restored when the blockages are removed or when a bypass for the blood around the blockages is made.
If there are only a few isolated blockages, they can be removed by placing stents inside the arteries at the position of the blockages. If the blockages are many and extend over longer distances, bypass surgery is normally te way to go.

A troponin test measures the levels troponin T or troponin I proteins in the blood. These proteins are released when the heart muscle has been damaged, such as occurs with a heart attack. The more damage there is to the heart, the greater the amount of troponin T and I there will be in the blood.
The pain your father had was a sign that his heart was suffering for lack of oxygen. If that situation remains for a prolonged period of time the heart muscle becomes damaged, resulting in an increase of troponin levels in the blood. 0.1ng/ml is slightly elevated.
Once the blood supply to the heart muscle is fully restored, Troponin levels may remain elevated for another 1 to 2 weeks.
