After adjusting for age, sex, hypertension, current smoking, current alcohol drinking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, insular stroke, family history of stroke and NIHSS score on admission,3-month mortality in the elevated hs-cTnT group was higher than in the normal hs-cTnT group (adjusted odds ratio, 3.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.16–8.49; P = 0.02), and 3-month major disability in the elevated hs-cTnT group was higher than in the normal hs-cTnT group (odds ratio, 2.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.04–4.51; P = 0.04). Here, TNNT2 is linked to stroke disorder.
