Abstract

Cardiac troponins have high clinical sensitivity and specificity for the detection of myocardial injury. Elevated cardiac troponin levels may also occur in non cardiovascular conditions, leading to a misdiagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. In this paper, we report a case of unexplained isolated elevation of troponin.
