Serial versus single troponin measurements for the prediction of cardiovascular events and mortality in stable chronic haemodialysis patients

Summary at a Glance This study examined the variability of pre‐dialysis troponin values to predict cardiovascular events in 128 HD patients. Most stable HD patients do not have elevated troponins at baseline. However, elevated or fluctuating levels are associated with a worse outcome. Serial troponin measurement has greater sensitivity and higher‐negative predictive power compared with a single troponin measurement.
