Abstract
Objective— To determine whether serum γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, accounting for temporal changes in known CVD risk factors and C-rea... To determine if serum γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, we conducted time-dependent analysis accounting for temporal changes in CV...Keywords
