AbstractTroponin (I or T) is the principal marker of myocardial injury used in clinical practice. Although immune-based methods to determine troponin I levels are generally reliable, the presence of human antibodies interfering with the assays components could lead to erroneous results. In this report, we will discuss the case of a patient with misleadingly elevated troponin I due to high rheumatoid factor titer and provide an insight into the responsible molecular mechanisms.
