What does this research mean for the field?

Elevated cardiac troponins following strenuous exercise in athletes without clinical signs of coronary artery disease likely represent a normal physiological or reparative process rather than pathological injury, and treating these individuals with antithrombotic medications is premature and potentially dangerous. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.SYNTHESIS. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Implication

Caution against LMWH in troponin-positive endurance athletes; leaves open hemostatic triggers of post-exercise events.

Population

Troponin-positive athletes with a low clinical suspicion of coronary artery disease compared to patients with acute coronary syndrome

Exercise-induced troponin elevations in athletes without clinical suspicion of coronary artery disease likely represent physiological processes rather than irreversible injury, and should not be treated with acute coronary syndrome pharmacotherapies.

Limitations

Imprecision and lack of standardization of currently available troponin assays
