Özet

Although cardiac troponins play a central role in the diagnosis and

risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome and are

frequently used to determine whether a patient with chest pain has

had cardiac damage, a false positive value can result in unnecessary

hospitalization and enrollment of potentially invasive tests. Clinicians

should be aware of the possibility of false positive troponin levels,

especially when the results are not consistent with clinical

presentation of the patient. (The Me di cal Bul le tin of Ha se ki 2012;
