Forest plot of the hazard ratio for A MACE in 3 years and B 5-year all-cause mortality risk comparing first and fourth quartiles of hs-cTnT levels in different groups as indicated. The 5–95% confidence interval is indicated by line length. P value for trend was calculated by Cochran–Armitage and Jonckheere–Terpstra tests of trend to compare baseline characteristics across increasing quartiles of hs-cTnT for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. CAD coronary artery disease, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, LDL low density lipoprotein cholesterol, PAD peripheral artery disease, TRGs triglycerides
