High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study

INTRODUCTION: Structural changes in the heart are known risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF). An association between high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), a marker of myocardial cell damage measured with a high-sensitivity assay, and the risk of AF could have implications for AF risk s...
