Abstract

GRADOS-SASO, Daniel et al. Interference in the determination of Troponin due to heterophile antibodies. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.6, pp.338-341. ISSN 0120-5633.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2019.07.009.

Due to its elevated specificity and sensitivity, and on being the third universal definition of myocardial infarction, these cardiac isoforms have been accepted internationally as the biomarkers of choice in clinical practice for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, and are preferable to the determinations of creatine kinase and its MB isoform. A case is presented on an eighty year-old man, who persistently had elevated Troponin values, despite a clinical course that was incompatible with an acute coronary syndrome or any other causes of elevation of this biomarker.
