Post-race cTnT elevations may confound AMI diagnosis in adolescent runners; leaves open clinical significance and mechanisms.
Does a half-marathon race increase cardiac troponin T release in adolescent runners?
A 21-km run almost universally increases cardiac troponin T in adolescent runners, often reaching levels diagnostic for acute myocardial infarction, with higher levels seen in those with less training experience.
Nie et al. (2011) studied this question.
