Why the study?
Does stress test-induced myocardial ischemia increase serum cardiac troponin I levels in patients admitted for chest pain?
Does stress test-induced myocardial ischemia increase serum cardiac troponin I levels in patients admitted for chest pain?
Serum cardiac troponin I levels do not increase with stress test-induced myocardial ischemia, suggesting it is not a useful marker for detecting reversible perfusion defects.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Troponin I may not detect reversible ischemia on stress testing; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice in chest pain evaluation.
Choragudi et al. (2002) studied this question.
