Correlations of clinical biomarkers with hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI across glycemic status. “ × ” in the grey box refers to non-significant correlations of the biomarker with hs-cTn. “*” at the right side of the boxes refers to a significant difference in the magnitude of correlation of the biomarker with hs-cTnT versus with hs-cTnI (Abbott); *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
