Abstract

The study examines the prevalence of elevated troponin levels in participants in the 2007 Perth Marathon and explores possible links with reduced renal clearance. Results reveal high troponin levels among marathon finishers, with weight loss and increased creatinine levels suggesting reduced renal clearance as an associated factor.
