High Troponin but No MI? Here's the Pattern
Your patient's troponin just came back elevated. No chest pain, no obvious EKG changes. Is this an MI — and what do you do right now?
This video walks through 9 real inpatient cases of elevated troponin — stroke, PE, pancreatitis, hyperkalemia, AF with RVR, aortic dissection, and more — and shows exactly how history, EKG, and troponin trend patterns distinguish MI from non-MI causes. The rise-and-fall pattern, when to treat as MI until proven otherwise, and when cardiology consult is actually unnecessary.
Built from 15 years of hospital medicine. For internal medicine residents, hospitalists, and ABIM board candidates.
