Abstract
Serum levels of cardiac troponins can be increased both with myocardial damage and in the absence of myocardial damage. In the second case, this is due to the influence of false-positive factors, among which heterophilic antibodies play a significant role. Understanding the causes of the formation of heterophilic antibodies, the features and mechanisms of their effect on serum levels of cardiac troponins, is an important condition for interpreting a false-positive result due to the influence of heterophilic antibodies. This brief, descriptive review presents the causes of heterophilic-antibodies formation and discusses their effect on serum levels of cardiac troponins.
