At baseline, univariate analysis showed that elderly (r = 0.085, P=0.004), male (r = 0.120, P < 0.001), smoking (r = 0.110, P=0.001), hypertension (r = 0.278, P < 0.001), Scr (r = 0.101, P=0.001), FBG (r = 0.065, P=0.026), BNP (r = 0.119, P < 0.001), and hs-CRP (r = 0.087, P=0.005) were positively correlated with hs-cTnT; eGFR (r = −0.091, P=0.002) was negatively correlated with hs-cTnT. This evidence concerns the gene NPPB and Hypertension.
