pubmed-article:10994933 | pubmed:abstractText | Troponin I, a specific cardiac muscle protein, has proven to be very helpful in detecting myocardial damage in ischemic heart disease. In order to assess if this laboratory test may also characterize some hypertensive subjects with proven cardiac damage, we compared troponin I serum concentrations of a group of patients affected by systemic hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with troponin I serum concentrations of hypertensive patients without LVH and with normal controls. | lld:pubmed |
