Abnormal values of TnI were detected in a variety of diseases not related to ACS. Even if troponin release indicates myocardial injury, it is not always synonymous with infarction or ischemia. A misinterpretation of TnI elevation may give rise to a diagnostic dilemma and cause unnecessary morbidity. An integration of biomarkers (TnI and CK-MB), ECG and WMSI will help identify false-positive ACS patients and avoid inappropriate admissions to CCU.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
