Kong N, Chua RFM, Besser SA, et al. - In a contemporary, urban academic setting, researchers examined how high sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (hs-cTnT) values are associated with gender, race, age, and kidney function. They retrospectively analyzed ED visits with at least 1 hs-cTnT and no diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at an academic medical center in the south side of Chicago. Findings revealed significantly higher median hs-cTnT values in males relative to females, African Americans exhibited lower values than Caucasians, those with atrial fibrillation and heart failure showed higher values than those without, and that older age and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate were linked with higher median values.
