The Kaplan–Meier curves for the combined endpoint of stroke/TIA and peripheral arterial event showed different results with higher event rates in patients of both groups with elevated hs-cTnT (n = 7, 5.8% and n = 29, 8.1% vs. n = 12, 1.7% and n = 17, 3.3%) independent of the Ca-score value (see Supplementary data online, Figure S7). This evidence concerns the gene TNNT2 and Stroke.
