Key result
Cardiac troponin I levels in a Russian population sample had a median of 1.5 pg/ml (95% CI 0.80-2.50) and were significantly associated with sex, age, obesity, hypertension, and LDL cholesterol.
Why the study?
The study aimed to assess the distribution of cardiac troponin I in a regional sample from the ESSE-RF study and evaluate its associations with risk factors and the SCORE system.
Population
1591 individuals aged 25-64 years from the Vologda region
Design
Observational cross-sectional study

Associations with cardiometabolic factors should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for added value beyond SCORE.
Cross-Sectional (n=1,591)
Cardiac troponin I levels in a general Russian population sample are significantly associated with age, male sex, and cardiometabolic risk factors, highlighting its potential utility beyond the SCORE system for risk stratification.
Shalnova et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular risk (n=1,591). Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) was evaluated on Distribution of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and associations with risk factors. Cardiac troponin I levels in a Russian population sample had a median of 1.5 pg/ml (95% CI 0.80-2.50) and were significantly associated with sex, age, obesity, hypertension, and LDL cholesterol.
