Are you sure your troponin was 45 and not 0.45??
A troponin of 45 is consistent with a significant heart attack. 0.45 is much less clear. My suspicion is that your value was 0.45, in my hospital you would have been in the cath lab quickly with a presenting troponin of 45. In some patients with known CAD small troponin leaks can be indicative of congestive heart failure. I would recommend you be seen by your cardiologist.
To answer your question, "event" is not really a medical term. It's a basket term sometimes used to refer to a small bump in enzymes without compelling symptoms to suggest an actual heart attack.
