Effects of a long-distance run on cardiac markers in healthy athletes

Abstract: Running a marathon significantly increases NT-pro-BNP levels in healthy adults. This increase could be partially attributed to cardiac stress. The transient increases in BNP, NT-pro-BNP and troponin T are more likely to reflect myocardial stunning than cardiomyocyte damage. It seems that the magnitude of the increase in BNP could serve as a marker of the biological age of the myocardium.

“…The kinetic profile of cTnI and cTnT circulating levels after strenuous exercise in apparently healthy subjects [25,40,[52][53][54][55][56][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90] is different from that usually observed in patients with AMI. It is well known that circulating levels of cTnI and cTnT in patients with uncomplicated type 1 AMI usually peak between 12 and 36 h from beginning of thoracic pain, gradually returning to below the 99th URL value within 5-7 days [1,3,40,76].…”

“…The effect of prolonged strenuous exercise on systemic cardiac markers of damage has been studied extensively, [18][19][20] with evidence of transient elevations during and immediately after exercise, which return to normal within 3 days in healthy athletes. 18,19 These temporary elevations have been hypothesised to be due to myocardial stress and reversible cardiomyocyte membrane damage.…”

“…18,19 These temporary elevations have been hypothesised to be due to myocardial stress and reversible cardiomyocyte membrane damage. 18,19 Exercise is known to cause an increased myocardial oxygen demand and cardiac troponin turnover in all athletes, 18 which might be linked to tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, when associated with prolonged increases (>3 days) in cTnT concentrations above 0.05µg/l.…”

“…This suggests that central NTproBNP (ng/mL) may also take part in the neuro-modulatory system that controls emotional behavior and the stress hormone cascade [16]. While there are data in the medical literature on NTproBNP (ng/mL) responses to acute physical stress [17][18][19][20][21][22][23], few data are available on systemic NTproBNP (ng/mL) responses to acute psychological and physiological stress. Moreover, it has been proposed that the cardiac endocrine response may be regulated differently by several types of stressors [24][25].…”
