Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality worldwide. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is released into the bloodstream due to cardiomyocyte damage and is associated with a high CVD risk. This study aimed to investigate hs-cTnT-related genetic variation and to examine whether this is an associated risk factor for CVD in the Japanese general population.
967 Japanese ancestry high hs-cTnT individuals, 2,816 Japanese ancestry low hs-cTnT individuals
