Subclinical Cardiac Microdamage, Motor Severity, and Cognition in Parkinson's Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: We assessed if cardiac blood markers are associated with motor and cognitive function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS: High-sensitivity troponin I and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were evaluated in 285 PD patients. Furthermore, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels were analyzed in 570 age, sex and cardiovascular risk factor matched healthy controls. Motor (UPDRS, Hoehn &Yahr) and cognitive function (Montreal Cognitive Assessemtn) were assessed at baseline in all 285 patients and after 1 year in 101 patients. RESULTS: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide were significantly increased in 285 PD patients compared with 570 matched healthy controls. In PD patients, increased high-sensitivity troponin I and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels were associated with worse motor function at baseline and also with motor decline after 1 year. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity troponin I were inversely associated with cognitive function at baseline only in unadjusted models. CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical cardiac microdamage is associated with motor severity in PD patients. © 2020 The Authors.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
