Complication rates by cardiac troponin tertile
| Cardiac troponin T (ng/ml) | CK >400 U/l | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ⩽0.01 (n = 338) | Tertile 1: ⩽0.26 (n = 159) | Tertile 2: ⩽1.1 (n = 156) | Tertile 3: ⩾1.1 (n = 151) | ||
| For the upper tertile of cardiac troponin T the risk of left ventricular failure (LVF), death, and combined death/LVF was significantly greater than in all the other groups. | |||||
