abnormal levels of troponin

I recently had a heart event. My troponin level was .27 and there was no evidence of coronary artery disease on the angiogram. I was told I had a heart spasm. How much above normal was my troponin level and where would the .27 level be in relation to a mild moderate and massive heart attack?

Hello there. It is very interesting to me that your troponin was elevated but it was only considered to be heart spasms. I have had a few heart attacks and stents but this past April I went to the ER with the exact same type pain I had with the heart attacks and my troponin was not elevated. I was diagnosed with vasospasms or coronary artery spasms. Everyone was expecting to see elevated cardiac enzymes but did not. The pain was extreme. Fortunately these have calmed down with meds. I did some researching and found this post in here and thought you might like to read it. Take care
