High-Sensitivity Version of Common Blood Test May Predict Early Onset of Hypertension
A study analyzing blood samples from over 5,000 people suggests that a more sensitive version of the standard blood test for cardiac troponin T—long used to verify heart muscle damage from heart attacks—could help identify people on the verge of developing hypertension well before it can be detected with a blood pressure machine.
