Long-term cumulative high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and mortality among patients with acute heart failure.


ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aimed to evaluate the cumulative high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTNT) from admission to 12 months after discharge and its association with mortality after 12 months among patients with acute heart failure (HF).

Methods

We used data from the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Prospective Heart Failure Study (China PEACE 5p-HF Study), which enrolled patients hospitalized primarily for HF from 52 hospitals between 2016 and 2018. We included patients who survived within 12 months and had hs-cTNT data at admission (within 48 h of admission) and 1 and 12 months after discharge. To evaluate the long-term cumulative hs-cTNT, we calculated cumulative hs-cTNT levels and cumulative times of high hs-cTNT level. Patients were divided into groups according to the quartiles of cumulative hs-cTNT levels (Quartiles 1-4) and cumulative times of high hs-cTNT levels (0-3 times). Multivariable Cox models were constructed to examine the association of cumulative hs-cTNT with mortality during the follow-up period.

Results

We included 1137 patients with a median age of 64 [interquartile range (IQR), 54-73] years; 406 (35.7%) were female. The median cumulative hs-cTNT level was 150 (IQR, 91-241) ng/L*month. Based on the cumulative times of high hs-cTNT levels, 404 (35.5%) patients were with zero time, 203 (17.9%) with one time, 174 (15.3%) with two times, and 356 (31.3%) with three times. During a median follow-up of 4.76 (IQR, 4.25-5.07) years, 303 (26.6%) all-cause deaths occurred. The increasing cumulative hs-cTNT level and cumulative times of high hs-cTNT level were independently associated with excess all-cause mortality. Compared with Quartile 1 group, Quartile 4 had the highest hazard ratio (HR) of all-cause mortality [4.14; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.51-6.85], followed by Quartile 3 (HR: 3.35; 95% CI: 2.05-5.48) and Quartile 2 (HR: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.49-4.08) groups. Similarly, taking the patients with zero time of high hs-cTNT level as the reference, the HRs were 1.60 (95% CI: 1.05-2.45), 2.61 (95% CI: 1.76-3.87), and 2.86 (95% CI: 1.98-4.14) in patients who had one, two, and three times of high hs-cTNT level, respectively.

Conclusions

Elevated cumulative hs-cTNT from admission to 12 months after discharge was independently associated with mortality after 12 months among patients with acute HF. Repeated measurements of hs-cTNT after discharge may help monitor the cardiac damage and identify patients with high risk of death.
