AbstractCardiac biomarkers are the cornerstone of the biological definition of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The key role of troponins in diagnosis of AMI is well established. Moreover, kinetics of troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase (CK) after AMI are correlated to the prognosis. New technical assessment like high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) raises concerns because of its unclear kinetic following the peak. This study aims to compare kinetics of cTnI and hs-cTnT to CK in patients with large AMI successfully treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).We prospectively studied 62 patients with anterior AMI successfully reperfused with primary angioplasty. We evaluated two consecutive groups: the first one regularly assessed by both CK and cTnI methods and the second group by CK and hs-cTnT. Modeling of kinetics was realized using mixed effects with cubic splines.Kinetics of markers showed a peak at 7.9 h for CK, at 10.9 h (6.9–12.75) for cTnI and at 12 h for hs-cTnT. This peak was followed by a nearly log linear decrease for cTnI and CK by contrast to hs-cTnT which appeared with a biphasic shape curve marked by a second peak at 82 h. There was no significant difference between the decrease of cTnI and CK (p=0.63). CK fell by 79.5% (76.1–99.9) vs. cTnI by 86.8% (76.6–92.7). In the hs-cTnT group there was a significant difference in the decrease by 26.5% (9–42.9) when compared with CK that fell by 79.5% (64.3–90.7).Kinetic of hs-cTnT and not cTnI differs from CK. The role of hs-cTnT in prognosis has to be investigated.

Abstract BACKGROUND The release kinetics of cardiac troponin T measured with conventional vs high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assays in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is difficult to establish. METHODS We analyzed the release kinetics of cTnT measured by fourth generation and high-sensitivity assays, creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), and myoglobin in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy undergoing transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy (TASH), a model of AMI. Consecutive patients (n = 21) undergoing TASH were included. Serum and EDTA-plasma samples were collected before and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 105 min, and 2, 4, 8, and 24 h after TASH. RESULTS cTnT concentrations measured by the hs assay were significantly increased at 15 min [21.4 ng/L, interquartile range (IQR) 13.3–39.7 ng/L vs 11.3 ng/L, IQR 6.0–18.8 ng/L at baseline; P = 0.031]. In comparison, cTnT concentrations measured by the conventional fourth generation assay increased significantly at 60 min (30.0 ng/L, IQR 20.0–30.0 ng/L vs <10.0 ng/L, IQR <10.0–10.0 ng/L; P < 0.01), CK-MB at 90 min (8.4 μg/L, IQR 6.9–14.4 μg/L vs 0.9 μg/L, IQR 0.4–1.1 μg/L; P < 0.01), and myoglobin at 30 min (188.0 μg/L, IQR 154.0–233.0 μg/L vs 38.0 μg/L, IQR 28.0–56.0; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS cTnT concentrations measured by the hs assay were significantly increased after TASH at all of the time points, with a doubling at 15 min after induction of AMI, confirming earlier evidence of myocardial injury compared to the fourth generation cTnT assay and CK-MB and myoglobin.

Rule Out

Abstract Objectives A rapid 0 h/1 h algorithm using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) for rule-out and rule-in of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is recommended by the European Society of Cardiology. We aim to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of the algorithm in Chinese Han patients with suspected NSTEMI. Methods In this prospective diagnostic cohort study, 577 patients presenting to the emergency department with suspected NSTEMI and recent (<12 h) onset of symptoms were enrolled. The levels of serum hs-cTnT were measured on admission, 1 h later and 4–14 h later. All patients underwent the initial clinical assessment and were triaged into three groups (rule-out, rule-in and observe) according to the 0 h/1 h algorithm. The major cardiovascular events (MACE) were evaluated at the 7-day and 30-day follow-ups. Results Among 577 enrolled patients, NSTEMI was the final diagnosis for 106 (18.4%) patients. Based on the hs-cTnT 0 h/1 h algorithm, 148 patients (25.6%) were classified as rule-out, 278 patients (48.2%) as rule-in and 151 patients (26.2%) were assigned to the observe group. The rule-out approach resulted in a sensitivity of 100% and negative predictive value of 100%. The rule-in approach resulted in a specificity of 62.9% [95% CI (58.5–67.2%)] and positive predictive value of 37.1% [95%CI (31.3–42.8%)]. No MACE was observed in the rule-out group within 30-day follow-up. Conclusions The hs-cTnT 0 h/1 h algorithm is a safe tool for early rule-out of NSTEMI, while probably not an effective strategy for accurate rule-in of NSTEMI in Chinese Han population.
