BEST PRACTICES :: UNDERSTANDING ELEVATED TROPONIN
may be from acute non-ischemic disease, or chronic disease that causes myocardial injury. The consideration for acute MI versus other cardiac or non-cardiac and systemic diseases, and communication with the laboratory if an analytical-related in- fluence is suspected, will help ensure the patient receives the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
