Many patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) experience repeated events [Cardiac troponins (cTn) are regulatory proteins that control the calcium-mediated interaction of actin and myosin in myocytes. cTn is convenient to measure in hospitals and in primary care. Myocyte necrosis and increased myocyte membrane permeability can lead to release of cTn and consequently elevated levels of cTn in blood plasma [The aim of this study was to investigate the association between elevated cardiac Troponin T (cTnT) and long-term outcomes in patients followed up with secondary preventive interventions after MI, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
