Why the study?
Do exercise-induced troponin I elevations above the 99th percentile predict mortality and cardiovascular events in older long-distance walkers?
Do exercise-induced troponin I elevations above the 99th percentile predict mortality and cardiovascular events in older long-distance walkers?
Exercise-induced increases in troponin may not be a benign physiological response to exercise, but an early marker of future mortality and cardiovascular events.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May signal non-benign troponin response in older walkers; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Aengevaeren et al. (2019) studied this question.
