A Sensitive Cardiac Troponin T Assay in Stable Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

After adjustment for other independent prognostic indicators, cardiac troponin T concentrations as measured with a highly sensitive assay were significantly associated with the incidence of cardiovascular death and heart failure but not with myocardial infarction in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
