Joint effect of highly-sensitive cardiac troponin T and ankle-brachial index on incident cardiovascular events: The MESA and CHS

Joint effect of highly-sensitive cardiac troponin T and ankle-brachial index on incident cardiovascular events: The MESA and CHS

Background: Elevated highly-sensitive cardiac troponin-T (hs-cTnT≥14 ng/L) and low ankle-brachial index (ABI<0.9) are risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) but their joint effect on the risk of ASCVD events is unknown. Methods: We used data from the two population-based...
