Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study hypothesized that biomarkers of subclinical myocardial injury (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T [hs-cTnT]) and hemodynamic stress (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP]) would differentiate heart failure (HF) risk among older adults with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). BACKGROUND: The natural history of LVH, an important risk factor for HF, is heterogeneous. METHODS:...
