The present study showed that AMI is diagnosed only in 40% of patients with elevated troponin-T without a typical clinical
picture of AMI. The remaining patients had another underlying disease with manifestations of multiple organ failure. It should
be emphasized that all the patients included in the study were in critical condition when they were admitted. Increased levels
of troponin-T correlated with the severity of the condition; in deceased patients, the level of troponin was significantly higher
than in discharged patients. It should be noted that the level of troponin-T in patients with AMI and other diseases practically
did not differ. There are reports in the literature that some severe diseases lead to an increase in the level of cardiac troponin-T
in the blood. In the present study, an increase in cardiac troponin-T was detected mainly in patients with multiple organ failure.
According to the literature data, it is multi-organ failure that leads to a "non-coronarogenic" increase in cardiac troponins in the
blood: for example, Ammann P., Maggiorini M., 2003, studied the level of troponin-T in patients with sepsis without AMI. As a
result of this study, it was shown that an increase in troponin-T was significantly more often detected in patients with septic
shock, which is the cause of multiple organ failure, while the level of troponin-T directly correlated with the level of tumor
necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). The authors suggest using troponin-T as an additional factor in the
unfavorable course of the disease in patients with a septic condition.
