What Do These Blood Test Results For Chest Pressure Indicate?
Question is regarding my father.He had chest pressure and indigestion and went to the ER...initial troponin was 0.05 and 6 hours later it had risen to 1.85. Another blood draw 6 hours later and the level was 11.77. Another 6 hours later and the level was 14.38. Last draw about 24 hours after onset of symptoms and the trop was 10.97. My question to the doctor, is this considered a mild or severe heart attack?

The extent of involvement is better described on the terms of ECG. If it is a STEMI or NSTEMI, which walss are involved, is there any rhythm disturbance etc all these will predict the severity of the disease.
