1.	Any condition resulting in myocardial cell damage can potentially increase cardiac Troponin-I levels. Published studies have documented that these conditions include, but are not limited to, angina, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocarditis, cardiac surgery, or invasive testing and non cardiac related causes such as pulmonary embolism, renal failure, and sepsis. 
2.	AxSYM Troponin-I results should be used inconjunction with other information such as cardiac marker results (e.g., CK-MB, ECG, clinical observations and symptoms, etc.)
3.	In Vitro studies suggest the measures level of cardiac Troponin-I in serum and plasma specimens may decrease over time in the presence of streptokinase or tissue type plasminogen activator.
