The association between serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and acute myocardial infarction in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome is modified by body mass index

The association between serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and acute myocardial infarction in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome is modified by body mass index

Background: Higher systemic concentrations of cardiac troponins and biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction as well as obesity are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and may share pathophysiological pathways. We sought to explore the association between ser...
