Why the study?
The aetiology and clinical significance of exercise-induced troponin release remain contentious.
Does a 28 km mountain run increase cardiac troponin I levels and is it associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in recreational male master athletes?
Population

Comparison
Pre- vs post-28 km mountain run

Transient cTnI rises after mountain runs warrant no immediate evaluation in asymptomatic master athletes; leaves open cumulative long-term risk.
Does a 28 km mountain run increase cardiac troponin I levels and is it associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in recreational male master athletes?
Exercise-induced troponin elevation is common after a 28 km mountain run and correlates with age and training type, but does not appear to be associated with adverse echocardiographic changes or mid-term cardiovascular events.
