A recent meta-analysis which focused on the correlation between hs-cTnT and risk of stroke showed that the HR value of IS in AF patients with a high level of hs-cTn was 1.95 (95% CI: 1.29–2.62), suggesting that hs-cTn could be used as a marker of IS risk stratification in AF patients (123). Here, TNNT2 is linked to atrial fibrillation.
