Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Baseline and post-exercise concentrations of high-sensitivity cTn I (hs-cTnI) and T (hs-cTnT) will be established for our primary aim. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Subsequently, the prevalence and magnitude of coronary artery calcification (i.e. Agatston score) and atherosclerotic plaque characteristics (density, phenotype (calcified/partially calcified/non-calcified), degree of stenosis, CT-derived fractional flow reserve), will be assessed in a subgroup of n=100 individuals with high versus n=50 with low post-exercise hs-cTnI concentrations. Finally, we will assess the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events yearly and (cardiovascular and all-cause) mortality at 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-years of follow-up. | — |
