Key result
Serum troponin testing can yield positive results in patients with pulmonary embolism, which carries prognostic significance but requires careful clinical context to avoid misdiagnosis.
Why the study?
Serum troponin can be positive in pulmonary embolus and may be misinterpreted without careful clinical context, affecting diagnosis and management.

Remote sensing of soil and plant spectral properties offers potential to optimize nitrogen fertilizer application, reducing environmental losses without compromising crop yield.
Serum troponin estimation is widely used in the diagnosis and management of coronary syndromes, but it is possible to be misled by a positive result unless it is put carefully into clinical context. The serum troponin can be positive in pulmonary embolus and carries prognostic significance. A case report is presented and a review of the relevant literature.
