In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with elevated high-sensitivity troponin I, those with angina pectoris had significantly higher median troponin levels (100.2 ng/l) compared to those without angina (36.4 ng/l).

Does elevated high-sensitivity troponin I correlate with painful and painless myocardial ischemia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Elevated high-sensitivity troponin I levels in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients can identify both painful and painless myocardial ischemia, with significantly higher levels in those experiencing angina.
Absolute Event Rate: 100.2% vs 36.4%

Gębka et al. (Mon,) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n=73). Angina pectoris (painful ischemia) vs. No angina pectoris (painless ischemia) was evaluated on High-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI) level (ng/l) (p=0.027). In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with elevated high-sensitivity troponin I, those with angina pectoris had significantly higher median troponin levels (100.2 ng/l) compared to those without angina (36.4 ng/l).
