AB  - Patients with chronic heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy who have low cardiac troponin T (TnT) levels have significantly fewer cardiovascular events than those with high TnT [Sato Y et al. Heart 1997; Sato Y et al. Circulation 2001]. This article discusses the association between TnT and prognosis in patients with heart failure.
