Reversible ischemia does not raise TnT in chronic CAD; leaves open whether troponin indicates necrosis rather than ischemia alone.
Does exercise-induced severe ischemia result in elevation of plasma troponin-T levels in patients with chronic coronary artery disease?
Severe reversible ischemia induced by exercise does not cause a significant release of troponin T into the circulation in patients with chronic coronary artery disease.
Akdemir et al. (2002) studied this question.
