Impaired RV reserve, occurred in asymptomatic patients, was not well predicted by resting systolic function assessment, and strongly predicted adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
Highlights
The risk of events is thought to be linear with the high-sensitivity troponin level.
The absolute troponin level might not be the sole determinant of risk, however.
Chest pain patients with stable low-level troponin elevation pose a challenge.
High-sensitivity troponin T ≤ 50 ng/l with a rise < 5 ng/l identify a low-risk cohort.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
