Why the study?
Does elevated cardiac troponin T predict all-cause mortality and cardiac death in peritoneal dialysis patients?
Does elevated cardiac troponin T predict all-cause mortality and cardiac death in peritoneal dialysis patients?
Elevated cardiac troponin T in peritoneal dialysis patients without acute ischemia is a strong predictor of long-term all-cause mortality.
