Troponin I and cardiovascular risk prediction in the general population: the BiomarCaRE consortium
Why the study?
Does the addition of troponin I to established risk scores improve prediction of cardiovascular death and cardiovascular disease in individuals free of cardiovascular disease?
Population
Individuals free of cardiovascular disease from the general population (BiomarCaRE consortium)
Comparison
Measurement of troponin I added to established… vs Established risk score variables alone

Implication
May improve risk stratification in primary prevention; leaves open whether troponin-guided decisions alter outcomes.
