elevated troponins - MTMac

Posted: Dec 07, 2012

I have been coming across the words "troponitis" and "troponinitis." Which is correct?

I am sure this is - what is actually

being dictated:

Troponin I (as in capital i)
"A subunit of troponin found in muscle and cartilage that inhibits the formation of blood vessels and is under investigation as a potential cancer therapy."

It is a lab test, and is used a lot as a cardiac marker.

The dictator stated "troponitis, probably stress induced, but will rule out ACS." That being said, which is the correct spelling, troponitis or troponinitis? When I googled the words I got both spellings and the words were placed in quotes which tells me this maybe one of those made up words that doctors like to give.

BTW, if you don't have a lab reference, - it might be a good idea

to invest in one. Troponin I is a pretty commonly ordered test.

Oops....I think I got in a little over my head - with that.......

.....I had never heard of troponintis or troponitis before, and it is SO close to the "troponin I" that I hear dictated all the time (plus you started your post with "elevated troponins"). And a lot of times they just say "troponins" instead of the full "troponin I", so I just thought maybe you had never heard that.....My bad!
