The clinical implications of these findings require further investigation. Mingels et al. Clin Chem 2009;55(1):

22 Cardiac MRI after Marathon O`Hanlon R,..., Whyte G, Prasad SK (J Cardiovasc Magn Res 2010;12:38) 17 male marathon runners (33 ± 7 yrs) MRI: before and 24 h after 11/17 TnI elevation above AMI cut-off cemri: reduced LV EDV and ESV, small increase in LV-EF, RV unch. in none of the athletes: myocardial inflammation or focal fibrosis... exercise induced cardiac biomarker release is not associated with any functional changes by CMR or any detectable myocardial inflammation or fibrosis. Trivax et al. (J Appl Physiol 2010;108: ) 12 male and 13 female marathon runners (39 ± 9 yrs) TnI and BNP increased after marathon increase in RA and RV index, LA and LV unchanged no morphological changes or evdience for ischemic injury by LGE... does not appear to result in ischemic injury in any chamber.

24 Long term results Sarna et al. Med Sci Sports Exerc 1993;25:

25 Conclusion Exercise-induced elevations of cardiac biomarkers seem to be a physiologic reaction in healthy hearts......, which also may be relevant for cardiac adaptation to endurance exercise.
