Abstract/OtherAbstract:
INTRODUCTION: Strenuous exercise induces significant increases in cardiac biomarkers. However, it is still unclear whether this is caused by cardiomyocyte necrosis or secondary mechanisms such as ischemia, cardiac energy deficiency, increased inflammation, or renal dysfunction. METHODS: Therefore, we investigated cardiac biomarkers (hs-cTnT, NT-proBNP, h-FABP), inflammation markers (hs-CRP, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α) and renal function (cystatin C) in 102 healthy men aged 42 (±9) years before and 0h, 24h and 72h after a marathon. RESULTS: Kinetics of hs-cTnT revealed a peak immediately after the race (V3) that decreased rapidlyto pre-test values within 72h (V5) (median (interquartile range IQR): 31.07 (19.25-46.86) ng/L at V3 and 3.61 (3.20-6.70) ng/L at V5; p<0.001). NT-proBNP and h-FABP kinetics showed a similar pattern (NT-proBNP = 92.6 (56.9-149.7) ng/L at V3 and 34.9 (21.7-54.5) ng/L at V5; h-FABP = 44.99 (32.19-64.42) μg/L at V3 and 7.66 (5.64-10.60) μg/L at V5; p always <0.001). Pro-inflammatory markers such as IL-6 and hs-CRP, and renal dysfunction were significantly augmented immediately post-race race (pre-race compared to maximum post-race: IL-6: 15.5-fold, hs-CRP: 28-fold, cystatin C: 1.22-fold, all p<0.001). These increases were not related to the increase of hs-cTnT. Similarly, training history, finishing time and exercise intensity were not associated with changes of hs-cTnT. CONCLUSION: Cardiac biomarkers were increased immediately after a marathon race. Interestingly, values returned to normal levels within 72h. These kinetics with a sharp peak indicate that cardiac necrosis during marathon running seems very unlikely, but may be explained by altered myocyte metabolism.
