Is an increase in hs-cTnT over time associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease regardless of blood pressure trends?
Rising hs-cTnT levels indicate increased cardiovascular risk independently of blood pressure trends.
An increase in hs-cTnT over time is associated with a higher risk of CVD even when the blood pressure is stable or decreases over time.
