Urine Albumin Excretion Is Associated with Cardiac Troponin T Detected with a Highly Sensitive Assay in a Community-Based Population.

Urine albumin excretion is an important predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. Minimally elevated levels of serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT), a marker of cardiomyocyte micronecrosis, can be detected with high sensitivity cTnT (hs-cTnT) assays. The purpose of this study was to investigate the rel...
