Popis: To the Editor: Vigorous endurance-type exercise causes cardiac troponin T (cTnT)1 elevations that often exceed the diagnostic cutoff value for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (1). It remains to be investigated whether exercise-induced cTnT release reflects a physiological or pathological process. Our recent studies utilizing multiple protein analysis techniques allowed determination of circulating cTnT forms, and it appeared that these are different in acute vs chronic pathologies (2, 3). In sera of AMI patients, cTnT is degraded from its intact form (estimated molecular weight by SDS-PAGE; MW est, 40 kDa) to primary ( MW est, 29 kDa) and subsequent secondary ( MW est, 14–18 kDa) fragments in a time-dependent manner (2).
