After a mild heart attack, should I consider angioplasty? What is the life expectancy after getting a stent? If the troponin test is negative, does that mean a heart attack did not occur?
Asked by Female, 41 · 2 months ago
Whether angioplasty is needed depends on the extent of your artery blockage, which your cardiologist will determine. Life expectancy after receiving a stent depends on your overall health and strict adherence to prescribed medications and lifestyle changes. A single negative troponin does not rule out a heart attack. Only repeated negative tests over several hours usually confirm that it did not occur.

Interpretation of Negative Troponin Test
- A negative troponin test generally indicates no significant heart muscle damage.
- It suggests that a heart attack likely did not occur, but clinical correlation is essential.
- Additional tests may be needed to confirm the absence of cardiac events.
Next Steps and Medical Follow-up
- Continue regular medical evaluations and follow your doctor's advice.
- Maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise.
- Discuss any concerns or symptoms with your healthcare provider for tailored guidance.
