- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which investigated the incidence and predictors of detectable cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in the general population using a highly sensitive assay. Likewise, the study identified whether cTnT levels quantified with the new assay relate to pathological cardiac phenotypes and subsequent mortality. The primary outcome measure of the research is explained. It discusses in detail the research findings. The association between detected cTnT and structural heart disease and subsequent risk for all-cause mortality is presented.
