title: Elevated cardiac troponin T indicating myocardial infarction or myocarditis-urgent cardiac catheter examination-or do we have to consider other reasons?
abstract: Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive tumour in adulthood, in which cardiac troponin T seems to be a tumour marker and course parameter. We present the clinical course of a young man suffering from this rare disease and the development of troponin T during therapy. Noninvasive cardiac imaging was used to exclude cardiac involvement, myocardial infarction or inflammation processes.
