Key result
High-sensitivity troponin aids clinical assessment in chronic stable heart failure.
Why the study?
Recent evidence suggests that measuring minute amounts of circulating cardiac contractile proteins may be useful in assessing patients with chronic heart failure.
Does the measurement of cardiac troponin by high-sensitivity assays improve the clinical assessment of patients with chronic stable heart failure?

Does the measurement of cardiac troponin by high-sensitivity assays improve the clinical assessment of patients with chronic stable heart failure?
High-sensitivity troponin assays may provide useful clinical information in the assessment of patients with chronic stable heart failure.
Latini et al. (2013) conducted a review in Chronic stable heart failure. High-sensitivity troponin measurement was evaluated. High-sensitivity troponin measurement may be useful in the clinical assessment of patients with chronic stable heart failure.
