| Abstract |
Recent studies have reported the importance of high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-cTnT) or skin autofluorescence (AF) as a cardiovascular risk factor. However, little is known about the relationship between these two markers. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical impact of skin AF on hs-cTnT in hypertensive patients, from the perspective of primary prevention of cardiovascular events. In total, 457 outpatients on treatment for hypertension [182 men and 275 women; mean (± SD) age, 67 ± 13 y] and with no history of cardiovascular events were enrolled. Hs-cTnT levels and skin AF were measured using commercial devices, and relationships between hs-cTnT levels and various clinical parameters including skin AF were examined. Hs-cTnT was detected in 405 (88.6%) patients. Skin AF was significantly higher in patients with detectable hs-cTnT than in those without detectable hs-cTnT [2.6 ± 0.5 arbitrary units (AU) vs. 2.2 ± 0.5 AU, respectively, p < 0.001]. In patients with detectable hs-cTnT, there was a significantly positive correlation between skin AF and Log-hs-cTnT (r = 0.41, p < 0.001). Furthermore, multiple regression analysis revealed that skin AF was the strongest variable associated with Log-hs-cTnT as a subordinate factor (β = 0.30, p < 0.001). The results of this study indicate that skin AF is an important determining factor for hs-cTnT elevation in hypertensive patients with no history of cardiovascular events. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 October 2017.
All research outputs
#16,051,091
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Hypertension
#45
of 98 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#188,009
of 331,155 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Hypertension
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 98 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,155 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
