- Prediabetes increased heart failure risk in adults with hypertension.
- Elevated high-sensitivity troponin or N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide identified higher-risk patients.
- Combined prediabetes and biomarker elevation conferred the greatest risk.
- Cardiac biomarkers improved risk stratification beyond clinical factors.
- Findings support earlier cardiometabolic risk intervention in hypertensive patients with prediabetes.
