Association of Cardiac Troponin T With Coronary Atherosclerosis: Primary Prevention in Asymptomatic People With HIV

People with HIV (PWH) have an increased prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis including higher risk plaque features measured by coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Levels of circulating cardiac troponin T measured with a high sensitivity assay are independently associated with the prevalence of coronary plaque, particularly with plaque features associated with higher risk for major adverse cardiac events.
