Trend toward post-exercise cTnI rise in horses is inconclusive; leaves open optimal timing for myocardial injury assessment.
Does short duration, maximal exercise increase cardiac troponin I concentrations in healthy horses?
Short-term, high-intensity exercise induces a small rise in plasma cTnI in normal horses, suggesting 3-6 hours post-exercise as the optimal measurement window for suspected myocardial damage.
Durando et al. (2006) studied this question.
