Aims The aim of this study was to establish age‐specific and sex‐specific cut‐off values for N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) and high‐sensitivity troponin T (hs‐troponin T) in healthy subjects and assess cardiac biomarkers as screening tools for subclinical heart failure (HF) in...
