Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyPrognostic value of cardiac troponin I measured with a highly sensitive assay in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
The aims of this study were to assess the prognostic value of cardiac troponin I levels, measured with a new high-sensitivity assay, in low-risk patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and to contrast its determinants and prognostic merit with that of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-TnT). ⋯ In patients with stable CAD, hs-TnI concentrations are associated with cardiovascular risk independently of conventional risk markers and hs-TnT.
