We measured hs-cTnT on admission (Roche Elecsys, detection limit 5 ng/L) and quantified HRs for a composite CVD outcome (ie, stroke, myocardial infarction, CVD death) adjusted for age, sex, prior coronary heart disease, prior heart failure, diabetes, smoking, systolic blood pressure, and low- and high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol. The gene discussed is TNNT2; the disease is Stroke.
