Incorrect. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: The patient has not suffered an acute myocardial infarction and a sample mix-up has occurred. A sample mix-up occurred in the 2-h post-admission samples. An AMI is unlikely given these test results because increases in plasma cTnI and CK-MB occur concurrently and cTnI concentrations remain elevated for days following an AMI. A heterophile antibody would cause consistently abnormal results rather than sporadic elevations in some samples but not others. Consistently normal CK-MB results in conjunction with normal cTnI results at admission and 6 h post admission strongly suggest that the 2-h post-admission cTnI sample was a mislabeled specimen obtained from a different patient. |
