TNNT2 and chronic kidney disease: Kang et al., in the Korean Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease56 reported that in CKD patients, hs-cTnT is strongly associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction (E/Ea > 15 at the medial annulus) for both estimated glomerular filtration rate categories (≥60 or <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2) but was not associated with systolic dysfunction (EF < 50%).
