My brother had a heart attack yesterday morning, and his troponin levels were 3 immediately upon reaching the hospital, 10 a few hours later, and 13 a few hours after that.

Troponin is ONLY produced in a blood sample once the heart muscle is damaged through a heart attack.
That's a very easy way of telling if it was a heart attack. It confirms the symptoms and ECG results.
The higher the number, the more the damage.
I am so sorry about your brother.
I hope he feels better soon.
Lots of things can cause chest pain, but if you are having chest pain and your heart enzyme levels are up, then you're having a heart attach event.
it suggest he has MI means heart attack
