Abstract:
Elevation of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin is observed in myocardial injuries, which is caused by various mechanisms in the process of heart failure and commonly seen in acute heart failure, acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure, and ischemic and even non-ischemic heart failure. The level of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin is significantly related with mortality and rehospitalization rate in heart failure patients, and is regarded as a powerful prognostic factor for heart failure.
