Serum Cardiac Troponin I is Related to Increased Left Ventricular Wall Thickness, Left Ventricular Dysfunction, and Male Gender in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Abstract

In patients with HCM, serum cTnI was associated with important clinical indices such as maximum LV wall thickness, LV dysfunction, and male gender. Serum cTnI seemed to have clinical significance different from that of BNP and may not be reflecting cardiac load but the LV remodeling process in HCM.
