Circulating Cardiac Troponin I Levels Measured by a Novel Highly Sensitive Assay in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: Insights From the ASCEND-HF Trial

摘要

Circulating cardiac troponin levels are commonly elevated in patients with heart failure (HF). These elevations likely represent a diversity of adverse myocardial responses to hemodynamic stress and abnormalities in cardiomyocyte pathobiology.
