In patients with heart failure and non-ischemic heart disease, cardiac troponin T is a reliable predictor of long-term echocardiographic changes and adverse cardiac events
Summary Background The relationships between (1) serum concentration of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and clinical hemodynamic profiles, (2) cTnT versus B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and long-term echocardiographic changes, and (3) cTnT versus BNP and echocardiographic changes, and rates of adverse c...

Zusammenfassung: | Summary Background The relationships between (1) serum concentration of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and clinical hemodynamic profiles, (2) cTnT versus B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and long-term echocardiographic changes, and (3) cTnT versus BNP and echocardiographic changes, and rates of adverse cardiac events, have not been well elucidated. Methods Retrospective analysis of 100 consecutive patients with heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction |
