Abstract excerpt
Highly sensitive troponin (hsTn) assays may predict cardiovascular (CV) events and left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with heart failure (HF). In this study, 99 subjects with LV systolic dysfunction (LVSD) were followed 10 ± 3 months with serial measurement of hsTnI by a novel method. hsTnI was detectable in all subjects and was above the 99th percentile of a normal population in 56.7 %. Supramedian...
