The Dilemma Behind Negative Troponin: A Case Report

Acute coronary syndrome remains the primary cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States. Cardiac ischemia is a consequence of an imbalance between oxygen demand and supply. The sensitivity of troponin is above 99% in diagnosing cardiac injury; rare exceptions can occur, however. We present...

description Acute coronary syndrome remains the primary cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States. Cardiac ischemia is a consequence of an imbalance between oxygen demand and supply. The sensitivity of troponin is above 99% in diagnosing cardiac injury; rare exceptions can occur, however. We present a case of acute coronary syndrome with a negative troponin level, even on repeated testing using different methods at two different centers.
