Troponin elevation in the setting of exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis in an athletic teenager.

Troponin levels are often obtained when chest pain is evaluated in the paediatric emergency department. Elevations in troponin levels can be due to different causes, and it is important to fully understand all of these possible causes to help streamline further evaluation and therapy. We present the case of a teenager who had two episodes of troponin elevation in the setting of rhabdomyolysis.
