Central Illustration. Association of biomarkers of myocardial injury and inflammation with coronary artery disease and major cardiovascular events.

Central Illustration.

The depiction of the associations between circulating biomarkers of myocardial injury (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin – hs-cTn) and inflammation (interleukin 6 – IL-6) and coronary artery disease (CAD) characteristics and major adverse cardiovascular events. The statistically significant (p<0.05) associations between biomarkers and CAD characteristics in bold white text. The associations between hs-cTn and high-risk (patients both hs-cTn and IL-6 above median) was significant after adjustments for age, gender, ASCVD risk score and individual CAD characteristics (bold white text).
