Is high-sensitivity troponin T associated with poor outcome in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension due to congenital heart disease?
Levels of hsTnT were abnormal in a substantial proportion of CHD-PAH patients. A significant inverse relationship was found between hsTnT and survival.
Our findings in 5 population cohorts from Northern Europe indicate that a variant in the GDF5 gene is a risk factor for LDD in women. Many more such variants are predicted to exist, but this result highlights the growth and differentiation cellular pathway as a possible route to a better understanding of the process behind lumbar disc degeneration.
