	Without coronary heart disease		With coronary heart disease
	N	Mean difference (95% CI)	N	Mean difference (95% CI)
Men
NT-proBNP†	1913	0.42 (0.33, 0.51)	279	0.34 (−0.02, 0.68)
hs-cTnT†	1918	0.35 (0.30, 0.40)	279	0.35 (0.17, 0.52)
Women
NT-proBNP†	2594	0.24 (0.18, 0.30)	282	0.49 (0.13, 0.81)
hs-cTnT†	2598	0.52 (0.49, 0.55)	282	0.38 (0.12, 0.58)

Analysis is stratified by pre-existing coronary heart disease (ECG or self-reported MI, grade 2 angina).

†Analysis is based on ln-transformed values.

hs-cTnT, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T; KYH, Know Your Heart; MI, myocardial infarction; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide.
