One-year Serial Measurements of High-sensitivity Troponin T in Hemodialysis Patients A Randomized Placebo-controlled Sub-study Investigating Angiotensin-II-Blockade, Variation Over Time and Associations with Clinical Outcome
Abstract:Background Troponin T (TnT) is a well-known risk factor for negative outcome in hemodialysis (HD) patients, but little is known about variation over time, and the impact of clinical and dialysis specific factors. This study investigated the effect of angiotensin II receptor blockade (ARB), short and long-term variation in TnT and associations with clinical parameters.Methods In this analysis based on the SAFIR-cohort (Clinical Trials ID: NCT00791830) 81 HD patients were randomized double-blind for placebo (n=4… Show more
