Table 3 Description of the cardiac troponin and highly sensitive troponin findings in the screening population
Normal screening echo | Borderline HCM | Definite HCM | Test statistic; P-value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sample size: | 56 | 20 | 17 | ||
Cardiac Troponin I | Log cTnI: mean(SD) | −4.71 (0.01) | −4.60 (0.34) | −4.31 (0.94) | F= 5.63; p= 0.005 |
Abnormal cTnI: n(%) | 0 (0%) | 1 (5%) | 3 (18.8%) | Fisher’s exact p= 0.006 | |
Sample size: | 63 | 22 | 19 | ||
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I | Log hsTnI: mean (SD) | 0.62 (1.08) | 1.34 (1.00) | 1.94 (1.45) | F=11.06; p<0.0001 |
Abnormal hsTnI: n(%) | 1 (1.6%) | 1 (4.6%) | 4 (22.2%) | Fisher’s exact p=0.008 | |
