“…25 There are several studies describing chronic troponin elevation in cardiomyopathies implying ongoing sub-clinical myocyte necrosis, apoptosis or leakage. [26][27][28] In this section, we summarise the clinical studies that have examined the role of serum troponin measurement in each of the cardiomyopathies. We performed a comprehensive literature search by using electronic bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and The Cochrane Library) and combinations of the following keywords: troponin, biomarker, hypertrophic, obstructive, dilated, restrictive, Fabry, non-compaction, amyloid, peri-partum, arrhythmogenic and cardiomyopathy.…”
