Elevated baseline hs-cTnT levels were linked to lower cognitive test scores and increased risk of dementia hospitalization over follow-up.
Are elevated baseline concentrations of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T associated with lower cognitive function and increased dementia risk?
Subclinical myocardial injury, as indicated by elevated hs-cTnT, is associated with worse cognitive function and an increased risk of dementia hospitalization.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Elevations in baseline concentrations of hs-cTnT were associated with lower cognitive test scores at baseline and increased dementia hospitalization risk during the follow-up. Our results suggest that subclinical myocardial injury is associated with cognition and dementia.
Schneider et al. (Sun,) reported a other. Elevated baseline hs-cTnT levels were linked to lower cognitive test scores and increased risk of dementia hospitalization over follow-up.
