High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin, Statin Therapy, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease

Abstract

Troponin concentration predicts coronary events, is reduced by statin therapy, and change at 1 year is associated with future coronary risk independent of cholesterol lowering. Serial troponin measurements have major potential to assess cardiovascular risk and monitor the impact of therapeutic interventions.
