Introduction The present study was undertaken to investigate the prognostic value of the frontal QRS-T angle associated with adverse cardiac outcomes in patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in early stages in the emergency department. Materials and methods The data of 212 patients with CO poisoning who were admitted to the ED between January 2010 and May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The frontal QRS-T angle was obtained from the automatic reports of the EKG device. Results Compared to patients without myocardial damage, among patients with myocardial damage, statistically high creatinine, creatine kinase MB, cardiac troponin I, and frontal QRS-T angle values were found ( p < 0.001 for all parameters), while the saturation of arterial blood pH and arterial oxygen values were found to be lower ( p = 0.002 and p < 0.001, respectively). The frontal QRS-T angle values were correlated with creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, cardiac troponin I, and oxygen saturation (SpO2) in arterial blood (r = 0. 232, p = 0.001; r = 0. 253, p = < 0.001; r = 0. 389, p = < 0.001; r = −0. 198, p = 0.004, respectively). The optimum cut-off value of the frontal QRS-T angle was found to be 44.5 (area under the curve: 0.901, 95% confidence interval: 0.814–0.988, sensitivity: 87%, specificity: 84%). Conclusions The frontal QRS-T angle, a simple and inexpensive parameter that can be easily obtained from 12-lead surface electrocardiography, can be used as an early indicator in the detection of myocardial damage in patients with CO poisoning.

Abstract Background: Available assays for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) yield numerically different results. The aim of this study was to compare patient values obtained from four cTnI immunoassays. Methods: We studied the Stratus® II assay, the Opus® II assay, the Access® assay, and a research-only cTnI heterogeneous immunoassay that uses the Dade Behring aca® plus immunoassay system equipped with two new noncommercial monoclonal antibodies. Because the aca plus cTnI assay is for research only, we first evaluated and analytically validated it for serum and citrated plasma. Initially, each method was calibrated using the method-specific calibrator supplied by each manufacturer; however, the aca plus cTnI assay was calibrated using patient serum pools containing cTnI and selected on the basis of increased creatine kinase MB isoenzyme and with values assigned by use of the Stratus cTnI assay. For method comparisons, individual patient sample cTnI values were determined and compared with the Stratus II assay. Results: Passing and Bablock regression analysis yielded slopes of 1.44 (r = 0.96; n = 72) for the Opus II vs Stratus II assays; 0.07 (r = 0.91; n = 72) for the Access vs Stratus II assays; and 0.90 (r = 0.91, n = 72) for the aca plus vs Stratus II assays. The recalibration of each method with a Stratus II-assigned serum pool improved, but did not entirely eliminate, the slope differences between the different assays (range, 1.00–1.16). The observed scatter in the correlation curves remained. Conclusion: There is a need to further explore the specificities of these assays with respect to the different circulating forms of cTnI.

Abstract Although measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is, in some situations, more specific for detection of cardiac injury than is measurement of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (MBCK), its sensitivity and specificity relative to MBCK for detection of myocardial infarction has not been established. Accordingly, we studied prospectively 199 consecutive patients admitted to the coronary care unit. Values of MBCK and cTnI mass were determined in all samples. Of the 188 patients admitted with a suspicion of acute myocardial ischemia, 89 were diagnosed as having an acute myocardial infarction on the basis of the patterns of MBCK values. Eighty-six of these patients also had increased cTnI (concordance, 96.6%); three did not. Of the patients diagnosed as without infarction, five with unstable angina and symptoms in the day(s) prior to admission had increased cTnI, for a cTnI specificity of 94.9%. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that cTnI and MBCK had statistically indistinguishable diagnostic accuracies for the detection of acute myocardial infarction.

Acute Cardiotoxicity

Background: In spite speedy development of clinical toxicology researches and protocols cardiovascular failure in severe acute intoxication remains a leading cause of death. Early cardiovascular risk assessment in acutely intoxicated patients is a must nowadays. This study aims to evaluate the role of ECG, serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB) for early detection of cardio-toxicity in acutely poisoned patients. Methods: Prospective study was carried on100 patients with acute cardiotoxicity by drugs and toxins known to cause cardiac injury admitted to Sohag University hospitals, informed written consent has been obtained from each patient; ECG and biochemical analysis of serum cTnI and CK-MB were estimated in all studied patients. Results: (90%) of studied patients had complete free recovery, (4%) discharged with complications and (6%) of patients died. ECG test can be used as a predictor of mortality and had sensitivity 100%, specificity 46.8% and negative predictive value (NPV) 100%. Serum cTnI was highly significantly increased with death hence could be used as predictors of outcome. While serum CK-MB couldn't be used as an outcome predictor. ROC curve analysis to assess serum cTnI as a predictor of mortality of acute cardiovascular toxicity with cut off > 1.0 ng/ml had sensitivity 100%, specificity 89.4% and NPV 100% with excellent diagnostic characteristic (accuracy rate 96.4%). There is no significant difference of serum CK-MB and serum cTnI among cardiac drugs toxicity patients and non-cardiac toxins patients. Conclusion: the study concluded that ECG and serum cTnI can be used as a predictor of mortality. Also, the protocol of management will be same in acute cardiotoxicity by cardiac drugs and non-cardiac drugs and toxins. Recommendation: the study recommends combining of ECG changes and serum cTnI as they can early detect acute cardiovascular effects in acutely poisoned patients.

AbstractAcute prolonged endurance running has been shown to alter muscle-specific circulating microRNA (miRNA) levels. Here, eighteen participants completed an 8 km run. We assessed the levels of hsa-miR-1–3p, -133a-3p, -133b, and -206 and their correlation with conventional biomarkers following exercise. Compared to before exercise (Pre), 8 km run significantly increased the lactate level immediately after exercise (0 h). Myoglobin (Mb) level increased at 0 h while creatine kinase (CK) level increased 24 h after exercise (24 h). The levels of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were all elevated at 24 h and within the normal physiological range; The levels of hsa-miR-1–3p, -133a-3p, -133b significantly increased at 0 h but only hsa-miR-133a-3p still elevated at 24 h. Only hsa-miR-206 level decreased at 24 h; Additionally, the changes of hsa-miR-1–3p and hsa-miR-133a-3p were correlated with Mb at 24 h. These findings suggest that muscle-specific miRNA elevation in plasma is likely physiological and that these miRNA may be used as potential biomarkers for load monitoring in individuals.

Abstract This multicenter study evaluated the Biosite Triage® Cardiac Panel as a quantitative, multimarker, whole blood system for the detection of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Optimum cutoffs for the discrimination of acute MI (n = 192 patients, 59 with MI) as determined by ROC curve analyses were as follows: 0.4 μg/L for cardiac troponin I (cTnI); 4.3 μg/L for the creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB); and 107 μg/L for myoglobin. The Triage Panel showed the following concordances for detection or rule-out of MI compared with established devices: cTnI &gt;89%; CK-MB &gt;81%; myoglobin &gt;69%. No significant differences were present between methods for the same marker. Diagnostic efficiencies demonstrated comparable sensitivities and specificities for the diagnosis of MI in patients presenting with symptoms compared with the Dade, Beckman, and Behring CK-MB, cTnI, and myoglobin assays; the ratio of sensitivity to specificity for each marker was as follows: cTnI, 98%:100%; CK-MB, 95%:91%; myoglobin, 81%:92%. The areas under the ROC curves for the Biosite myoglobin, CK-MB, and cTnI were 0.818, 0.905, and 0.970, respectively; the areas were significantly different, P &lt;0.05. In patients with skeletal muscle injury and renal disease, the Triage cTnI showed 94% and 100% specificity, respectively. The Triage panel offers clinicians a whole blood, point-of-care analysis of multiple cardiac markers that provides excellent clinical sensitivity and specificity for the detection of acute MI.
