[12,15] showed that in an older population than ours, free of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, congestive heart failure, history of myocardial infarction, low ejection fraction or BMI>30 (n = 1060), no subjects were observed with detectable cTnT (>0.01 ng/ml). Here, TNNT2 is linked to hypertensive disorder.
