Why the study?
Does elevated cardiac troponin T (>0.1 ng/ml) predict mortality and vascular events in pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal impairment?

Elevated cTnT may aid risk stratification in pre-dialysis CKD; extends observational data but leaves intervention trials open.
Does elevated cardiac troponin T (>0.1 ng/ml) predict mortality and vascular events in pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal impairment?
In pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal impairment, elevated cardiac troponin T (>0.1 ng/ml) is a significant independent predictor of mortality and vascular events.
