Abstract

CONTEXT: Detectable levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are strongly associated with structural heart disease and increased risk of death and adverse cardiovascular events; however, cTnT is rarely detectable in the general population using standard assays. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence and...
