A Sensitive Cardiac Troponin T Assay in Stable Coronary Artery Disease
Structured PICO
Are cardiac troponin T concentrations measured with a highly sensitive assay associated with cardiovascular death, heart failure, or myocardial infarction in patients with stable coronary artery disease?

Patients with stable coronary artery disease

Highly sensitive cardiac troponin T assay (prognostic biomarker evaluation)
O
Outcome
Incidence of cardiovascular death, heart failure, and myocardial infarctionhard clinical
Highly sensitive cardiac troponin T is a significant prognostic marker for cardiovascular death and heart failure in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Abstract
After adjustment for other independent prognostic indicators, cardiac troponin T concentrations as measured with a highly sensitive assay were significantly associated with the incidence of cardiovascular death and heart failure but not with myocardial infarction in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
