Cardiac troponin and increased mortality risk among individuals with restrictive spirometric pattern on lung function testing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals with a restrictive spirometric pattern have a high burden of cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity.

Objective

To assess prevalence of elevated cardiac biomarkers among individuals with a restrictive spirometric pattern compared to those with a normal lung function and to evaluate the association between cardiac biomarkers and mortality.

Methods

In 2002-04, individuals with airway obstruction were identified from population-based cohorts, together with age- and sex-matched non-obstructive referents. The analysis population consisted of the non-obstructive referents stratified according to whether they had a restrictive spirometric pattern or normal lung function in whom cardiac biomarkers were measured. Deaths were recorded until 31 December 201
