Serum High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T Is a Significant Biomarker of Left-Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Subjects with Non-Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with left-ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) which progresses to diastolic heart failure. However, biomarkers predicting LVDD in patients with CKD are largely unknown. Methods: In 93 patients with non-diabetic CKD, the relationships a...
