As for the myocardium function indicators, the creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), myoglobin (Mb), cardiac troponin (cTn), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels were markedly higher in hypertension APs than those in non-hypertension APs. Here, NPPB is linked to hypertensive disorder.
