High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and N-terminal b-type natriuretic propeptide are associated with cardiac and all-cause mortality in older adults – A population-based ten-year follow-up study
Our study shows that older population with higher cTnT and proBNP concentrations have an increased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Acknowledging the elevated risk may aid in targeting follow-up, prevention, and treatment adequately and more individually.
