In the study by Weippert et al,78 a significant association was shown between cTnT release and the metabolic state of the working muscles, that is, exercise “dose,” but not with echocardiographic parameters. Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis presented on figure 3 (unpublished data, personal communication) reveals strong positive correlation between hs cTnT and total CK/CK‐MB/%CK‐MB
