222 Figure 1 - Scatter plot showing a significant moderate, positive linear correlation between high-sensitivity troponin levels and SYNTAX score. Each plot represents one patient. Dashed line represents the linear regression. P-value of Spearman rank correlation test, and “r” is the linear correlation coefficient. Figure 2 - Scatter plot showing a significant weak, positive linear correlation between high-sensitivity troponin levels and TIMI risk score. Each plot represents one patient. Dashed line represents the linear regression. P-value of Spearman rank correlation test, and “r” is the linear correlation coefficient. High-sensitivity troponin (pg/mL) p < 0.001 r = 0.440 SYNTAX score p < 0.001 r = 0.267 High-sensitivity troponin (pg/mL) TIMI risk score Cardoso et al.
