Figure 2 Adjusted* relative risk (RR) of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality associated with troponin greater than the 99th percentile reference value of a healthy reference population versus undetected troponin at baseline. *Adjusted for age, gender and race, smoking status, BMI, presence of diabetes mellitus, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use. Additional adjustments include: Saunders: hs-CRP, BNP and eGFR. deFilippi: CVD mortality model- coronary heart disease, CRP, NT-proBNP. HF model - albumin and creatinine concentration coronary heart disease, heart rate, and left ventricle hypertrophy on electrocardiogram. de Lemos: hs-CRP, GFR, NT-proBNP. Leistner: hscRP, NT-proBNP,eGFR. Sundstrom: previous myocardial infarction (MI), MI during follow up, NT-proBNP.

Figure 3 Adjusted* relative risk (RR) for cardiovascular mortality in individuals with detectable troponin levels versus individuals with undetectable levels. * Adjusted for age, gender and race, smoking status, BMI, presence of diabetes mellitus, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use. Additional adjustments included: Everett: BMI, history of MI, hsCRP, NT-BNP, GFR. Daniels: BMI, heart rate, physical activity, and creatinine clearance, baseline CHD.
