Does the prognostic value of hs-cTnI concentrations in the general population differ between men and women?
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I has stronger prognostic value in women than in men in the general population.
The prognostic value of hs-cTnI concentrations in the general population is stronger in women than in men. Subtle impairment of cardiovascular status may contribute to higher hs-cTnI concentrations in men, reflecting sex-dependent differences in cardiovascular risk.
Omland et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
