Six-Year Change in High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T and Risk of Subsequent Coronary Heart Disease, Heart Failure, and Death

Six-Year Change in High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T and Risk of Subsequent Coronary Heart... Key PointsQuestionWhat is the association between temporal change in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), which reflects trajectory of subclinical myocardial damage, and subsequent cardiovascular outcomes? FindingsIn this cohort of 8838 adults, 6-year change in hs-cTnT was associated with subsequent coronary heart disease, heart failure (HF) (including both HF with reduced ejection fraction and HF with preserved ejection fraction subtypes), and death.

Abstract

Key PointsQuestionWhat is the association between temporal change in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), which reflects trajectory of subclinical myocardial damage, and subsequent cardiovascular outcomes? FindingsIn this cohort of 8838 adults, 6-year change in hs-cTnT was associated with subsequent coronary heart disease, heart failure (HF) (including both HF with reduced ejection fraction and HF with preserved ejection fraction subtypes), and death. Repeat hs-cTnT testing improved discrimination and net reclassification of HF and death, adding to traditional risk factors, N-terminal pro–brain natriuretic peptide, and baseline hs-cTnT level. MeaningTwo measurements of hs-cTnT appear to be better than 1 measurement for characterizing risk and may augment targeted prevention efforts, especially among adults with stage A or B HF.
