Common causes of troponin elevations in the absence of acute myocardial infarction: incidence and clinical significance

Chanwit Roongsritong et al. Chest. 2004 May.

Abstract

Cardiac troponin is a preferred biomarker of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Unfortunately, elevation of troponin can be detected in a variety of conditions other than acute MI. This review focuses on the incidence and clinical significance of increased troponin in conditions commonly associated with troponin elevations, particularly in those that may resemble acute MI.
