What are the guidelines regarding troponin elevations during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, troponin values are within the normal range in the absence of cardiovascular morbidities. There is controversy as to whether troponin levels are elevated in pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, or gestational hypertension. References suggest that an increase of >20% of previous troponin levels or an absolute increase of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T values (eg, >7 ng/L over 2 hours) may indicate reinfarction.
