• These findings challenge the use of periprocedural troponin elevations as a marker of catheter laboratory quality or as an endpoint in clinical trials.
• Until there is better understanding of the level of periprocedural troponin that predicts outcomes, decisions about patients’ care, including the timing of their discharge from hospital, should be based on comprehensive clinical assessment without giving undue weight to periprocedural troponin levels.
