High-sensitive cardiac troponin T: a biomarker of left-ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hemodialysis patients

Objective To identify the relationship between serum high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) among maintenance hemodialysis patients and to further explore the value of hs-cTnT in evaluating and predicting LVDD in this special group of patients.
