TNNT2 and diabetes mellitus: When the factors associated with hs-cTnT elevation in the univariate analyses (p < 0.20) were entered into the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the following factors emerged as significant determinants of elevated hs-cTnT in the entire study population (Table 3): age ≥ 76 years (OR 3.71 [95% CI 2.04-6.75], p < 0.001), previous CHD (OR 2.61 [95% CI 1.23-5.53], p = 0.013), congestive heart failure (OR 4.26 [95% CI 1.15-15.82], p = 0.031), diabetes mellitus (OR 4.02 [95% CI 1.50-10.76], p = 0.006) and lower eGFR (OR 0.97 [95% CI 0.95-0.98], p < 0.001).
