Serum levels of high-sensitivity troponin T: a novel marker for left ventricular remodeling and performance in hypertensive subjects

D. M. Miao, Zhang, L. P., Yu, H. P., Zhang, J. Y., Xiao, W. K., and Ye, P., Serum levels of high-sensitivity troponin T: a novel marker for left ventricular remodeling and performance in hypertensive subjects, vol. 13, pp. 5143-5153, 2014.

It has been well established that high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-TnT) is a specific and highly sensitive marker in acute coronary syndromes. On the other hand, studies on serum concentrations of hs-TnT in patients with hypertension in the absence of significant coronary stenosis are limited. Therefore, we hypothesized that hs-TnT levels are related to left ventricular (LV) remodeling and performance in hypertension. We included 537 hemodynamically stable hypertensive subjects, 247 males aged 60.7 ± 11.1 years, and 100 normotensive subjects of similar age and gender.
