Researchers at University of Turku Release New Study Findings on Heart Attack (Composition of cardiac troponin release differs after marathon running and myocardial infarction).

Researchers at the University of Turku conducted a study comparing the composition of cardiac troponin release after marathon running and acute myocardial infarction (MI). They found that the troponin composition differed significantly between the two groups, with marathon runners showing lower levels of intact troponin compared to MI patients. The study highlights the impact of strenuous exercise on cardiac troponin levels and suggests that the difference in troponin composition is more pronounced in runners with higher troponin release. The research was funded by various organizations and published in Open Heart. [Extracted from the article]
