Temporal Changes of Stable High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T Levels and Prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Background The prognostic implications of temporal change of previously stable high-sensitivity cardiac troponin concentrations are unknown. We investigated the prognosis associated with temporal changes of stable high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) concentrations. Methods and Results All patients presenting with cardiac symptoms and ≥2 hs-cTnT measurements at the time of their first visit to 7 different emergency departments in Sweden between December 9, 2009, and December 31, 2016, were identified (n=66 159). We included all patients with stable hs-cTnT but no acute coronary syndrome diagnosis who had ≥1 hs-cTnT measured also at a second visit >30 days from the first visit. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs were calculated for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events accord
