It was found that where the protein called troponin (肌钙蛋白）T was present, the patient was seven times more likely to die from heart disease within the next six years. ; Dr James de Lemos, at University of Texas and lead author of the study said, “It appears that the higher your troponin T is, the more likely you are to have problems with your heart. ”The study involved more than 3, 500 healthy people and 25 percent were found to have detectable(察觉到的） levels of troponin T. They provided blood samples and underwent1 body scans to examine their hearts and other organs. They found older people, men and African-Americans had the highest levels of troponin T along with those showing signs of weakness of the heart muscles. ; They were then tracked(跟踪） for an average of seven years to establish how many people died, of what and when. Dr de Lemos said, “Because this test seems to identify2 cardiovascular(心血管的) problems that were previously unrecognised, we hope in the future to be able to
