# Sensitive Marker Affected by All Systemic Abnormalities—troponine

## TL;DR

This paper reviews conditions that can raise troponin levels without being caused by classic heart attacks.

## Contribution

The paper categorizes non-acute coronary conditions that can lead to elevated troponin levels.

## Key findings

- Troponin elevation can occur from non-myocardial infarction causes.
- Various systemic conditions can indirectly affect the myocardium.
- Different types of infarction have been redefined based on troponin behavior.

## Abstract

Whether due to myocardial infarction or not, we find troponin levels to be high when myocardial damage occurs. Elevated troponin may not always be a myocardial infarction caused by plaque rupture on the basis of classically known coronary thrombosis. In this sense, infarction types have been defined. In this review, we aimed to bring together the conditions that may directly or indirectly affect the myocardium, except for acute coronary syndromes.
