Exercise-induced cardiac troponin release in athletes with versus without coronary atherosclerosis

CONCLUSIONS: Serial sampling of hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI concentrations during and following an exhaustive endurance exercise test did not reveal differences in exercise-induced cTn release between athletes with versus without coronary atherosclerosis. These findings suggest that a high CACS or a >50% stenosis in any coronary artery does not aggravate exercise-induced cTn release in middle aged and older athletes.PMID:38363583 | DOI:10.1152/ajpheart.00021.2024
