Rubric Error in troponin rapid diagnostics. Upon suspicion of myocardial infarction, a patient underwent a troponin rapid test in the emergency department. However, the test cartridges were stored at an incorrect temperature, which led to a false-negative result. The patient was transferred to a general therapeutic ward, losing precious time, which resulted in complications in the form of acute heart failure.
