Does high-sensitivity troponin T predict non-cardiac mortality in patients admitted for decompensated heart failure?
High-sensitivity troponin T is an independent predictor of both cardiac and non-cardiac mortality in patients hospitalized for decompensated heart failure.
Nakamura et al. (2014) studied this question.
