Text from Austria
Die Übernahme erfolgte vom KH S., wo die Patienten wegen retrosternaler Schmerzen mit ischämiespezifischen EKG-Veränderungen und Troponinauslenkung hospitlisiert wurde.
I am not sure if deflection fits the context or if there is a specific technical term (maybe elevation?). None of the other glossary entries has anything to do with medicine.
Thanks for your suggestions

Yes, I would say "elevated troponin levels".
Here's an example (check out the last sentence):
The troponin test will usually be ordered when a patient first comes into the emergency room and then may be ordered again at 6 and 12 hours. The troponin test is used to help diagnose a heart attack, to detect and evaluate mild to severe heart injury, and to separate it from chest pain that may be due to other causes. In patients who have delayed getting treatment and have been having heart-related chest pain, discomfort, or other symptoms such as sweating, radiating pain in the arms, shoulders, jaw, neck, nausea, and/or lightheadedness for more than a day, the troponin test is the test of choice. This is because it will still be elevated in the blood if the symptoms were/are due to heart damage.
