Skeletal Muscle Disorders: A Noncardiac Source of Cardiac Troponin T

Jeanne du Fay de Lavallaz et al.

Summary: This study aimed to confirm the cardiac specificity of cTnT in patients with various skeletal muscle disorders (SMDs). The results showed that elevations in cTnT concentrations in patients with active chronic SMDs are common and not attributable to cardiac disease, while this phenomenon was not observed for cTnI. The re-expression of cTnT in skeletal muscle may partially explain this.
