The effects of a 50 km ultramarathon race on high sensitivity cardiac troponin I and NT-proBNP in highly trained athletes.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed a significant increase in hs-cTnI and NT-proBNP in highly trained athletes after a 50 km ultramarathon race, and 30% of runners had the values of cardiac biomarkers above URL. More studies with a larger number of athletes will be needed to better understand the effects of intense exercise on the heart of trained athletes. PMID: 32657560 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
