Does detectable serum cardiac troponin T predict increased mortality risk in patients with chronic precapillary pulmonary hypertension?
Detectable serum cardiac troponin T serves as an independent prognostic marker for increased mortality in patients with chronic precapillary pulmonary hypertension.
Detectable cTnT is a so-far ignored independent marker of increased mortality risk in patients with chronic precapillary PH, supporting the role of progressive myocyte injury in the vicious circle leading to hemodynamic destabilization.
Torbicki et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
