Association of serum cardiac troponin I and severity of coronary stenosis in patients with varied renal functions: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Recent studies showed cardiac troponin I (cTnI) might be a non-invasive biomarker to estimate the severity of coronary stenosis. However, serum cTnI is also found associated with renal function. The study objective is to analyse the association of serum cTnI and severity of coronary stenosis in patients with varied renal functions.

Design

A retrospective cohort study.

Setting

The First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China.

Population

A total of 6487 subjects who underwent elective coronary angiography between January 2017 to June 2020 were involved in this study.

Primary outcomes

Severity of coronary stenosis was divided into three degrees based on Gensini score, mild coronary stenosis,
