Baseline and changes in highly sensitive cardiac troponin T levels were significantly associated with incident heart failure and cardiovascular death in older adults.
Are baseline and serial changes in highly sensitive cardiac troponin T associated with incident heart failure and cardiovascular mortality in older adults?
Baseline and serial changes in highly sensitive cardiac troponin T are significant predictors of incident heart failure and cardiovascular death in older adults.
In this cohort of older adults without known HF, baseline cTnT levels and changes in cTnT levels measured with a highly sensitive assay were significantly associated with incident HF and cardiovascular death.
deFilippi et al. (2010) studied this question. Baseline and changes in highly sensitive cardiac troponin T levels were significantly associated with incident heart failure and cardiovascular death in older adults.
