Chest pain, shortness of breath, T wave inversion, and rising troponin in a young healthy runner.

In this study, 40 presumably healthy male marathon runners had their cardiac troponin and other findings measured before and after running a marathon. 39 pts (97.5%) had baseline cTnT values below the reference limit (less than 14 ng/L). 38 pts (95%) of participants had post-marathon cTnT concentration rise above this reference limit. The median post-marathon cTnT was 41 ng/L, and the 95th percentile concentration was 90 ng/L. None reported " cardiac symptoms " after the race.See this single post for many examples of BTWI:Understanding this pathognomonic ECG would have greatly benefitted the patient.More cases involving BTWI:A 60-something male presents with crushing chest painA 50-something Australian with sudden severe epigastric and chest pain presented looking extremely ill.What does this ECG with significant ST Elevation represent?15 yo AAM with ST Elevation and T-wave Inversion.
