Troponin Test & Heart Attack Types Made Simple | Faith & Medicine with Dr. Marcum

Have you ever wondered what *troponin* is and why doctors check it when someone is suspected of having a heart attack? In this episode of Biblical Prescriptions for Life, Dr. James Marcum from Heartwise Ministries explains troponin, why it rises in the blood, and how it helps doctors identify heart damage.

You’ll learn:
✅ The role of troponin in the heart muscle
✅ Different types of heart attacks (plaque rupture, gradual occlusion, spasm, SCAD, embolic, microvascular, etc.)
✅ Other conditions that raise troponin (stress, infections, kidney disease, pulmonary embolism, etc.)
✅ Why it’s vital to seek help right away for chest pain or shortness of breath

Alongside the medical insight, Dr. Marcum shares a powerful reminder from Genesis 1:27—that we are created in God’s image, designed to reflect His love and glory.
