Popis: We measured analytes in collapsed Boston Marathon runners to compare with changes in asymptomatic runners. Of collapsed runners at the 2007 marathon, 18.2% had a measurable cardiac troponin T (cTnT) value with a mean postrace level of 0.017 ng/mL (0.017 microg/L; SD, 0.02 ng/mL [0.02 microg/L]). Three subjects had cTnT values above the cutoff (0.10 ng/mL [0.10 microg/L]) typically used for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. The mean and median N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels were 73 ng/L (SD, 77.3 ng/L) and 54.3 ng/L (interquartile range, 22.8-87.3 ng/L), respectively, in collapsed runners. Only 4.9% had values more than the age-specific normal value (
