Implication

TnT may correlate with echo parameters in HCM; leaves open incremental prognostic value beyond imaging.

Structured PICO

Does cardiac troponin T concentration correlate with echocardiographic findings in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Population

30 consecutive patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), mean age 62.1 years (range 25-82 years), examined at Hyogo Prefectural Amagasaki Hospital.

Intervention

Measurement of cardiac troponin T (TnT) concentrations using a second generation assay kit.

Outcome

Relation between TnT concentrations and echocardiographic findings.surrogate
