Why the study?
Does high-sensitive Troponin T measurement 6 weeks after heart transplantation predict mortality in cardiac allograft recipients?
Does high-sensitive Troponin T measurement 6 weeks after heart transplantation predict mortality in cardiac allograft recipients?
High-sensitive Troponin T levels measured 6 weeks after heart transplantation serve as a strong, independent predictor of 1-year and 5-year mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
hsTnT at 6 weeks may aid post-transplant mortality risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Erbel et al. (2012) studied this question.
