Cardiac troponin levels can be elevated without myocardial injury in patients with renal impairment. However, the prognostic value of elevated troponin levels after cardiac surgery has not been well evaluated in patients with renal impairment. We evaluated the relationship between postoperative troponin levels and mortality following cardiac surgery according to preoperative renal function.Among 3661 patients underwent cardiac surgery between March 2005 and December 2015, 1909 patients were anal ...[more]

Project description:Background The diagnosis of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is based on biochemical markers along with clinical and instrumental findings. However, there is not a clear cutoff value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) to identify PMI. We hypothesized that isolated hs-cTn concentrations in the first 24 h following CABG could predict cardiac adverse events (in-hospital death and PMI) and/or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decrease. Methods We retrospectively enrolled all consecutive adult patients undergoing CABG, alone or in association with other cardiac surgery procedures, over 1 year. Hs-cTn I concentrations (Access, Beckman Coulter) were serially measured in the post-operative period and analyzed according to post-operative outcomes. Results 300 patients were enrolled; 71.3% underwent CABG alone, 33.7% for acute coronary syndrome. Most patients showed hs-cTn I values superior to the limit required by the latest guidelines for the diagnosis of PMI. Five patients (1.7%) died, 8% developed a PMI, 10.6% showed a LVEF decrease ≥ 10%. Hs-cTn I concentrations did not significantly differ with respect to death and/or PMI whereas they were associated with LVEF decrease ≥ 10% (p value < 0.005 at any time interval), in particular hs-cTn I values at 9–12 h post-operatively. A hs-cTn I cutoff of 5556 ng/L, a value 281 (for males) and 479 (for females) times higher than the URL, at 9–12 h post-operatively was identified, representing the best balance between sensitivity (55%) and specificity (79%) in predicting LVEF decrease ≥ 10%. Conclusions Hs-cTn I at 9–12 h post-CABG may be useful to early identify patients at risk for LVEF decrease and to guide early investigation and management of possible post-operative complications.

Project description:Measures of cardiac troponin (cTn) may have lower specificity for myocardial infarction in patients with CKD. We examined the diagnostic accuracy of baseline and serial high-sensitivity cTnI (hs-cTnI) measurements for myocardial infarction and 30- and 180-day mortality according to renal function. hs-cTnI was measured (Abbott assay) using sex-specific 99th percentiles (women, 16 ng/L; men, 34 ng/L) in 1555 adults presenting to the emergency department with symptoms suggesting ischemia (NCT02060760). Myocardial infarction was adjudicated along universal definition classification. Renal function did not significantly affect sensitivity or negative predictive values. Specificity decreased with impaired renal function from 93%-95% with normal function (eGFR≥90 ml/min per 1.73 m2; n=722) to 57%-61% with severely impaired renal function (eGFR<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2; n=81) and 40%-41% on dialysis (n=78). Positive predictive values decreased with decreasing renal function from 51%-57% with normal function to 27%-42% with severely impaired function and 15%-32% on dialysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve areas trended lower at baseline and 3 hours with renal impairment. Mortality increased significantly with increasing hs-cTnI tertile (1.3%, 6.0%, and 10.4%, respectively). Patients with hs-cTnI concentration exceeding concentrations in the 99th percentiles had a mortality rate (11.7%) significantly higher than that of patients with concentrations between 99th percentile concentrations and limit of detection (6.2%) or below limit of detection (1.1%). Renal dysfunction and dialysis reduced the rule-in performance but not the rule-out performance of hs-cTnI for myocardial infarction, and mortality increased in patients with higher hs-cTnI concentrations and any level of renal dysfunction.

Project description:ObjectivesPlasma troponins, measured by fourth-generation assays, are associated with increased mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery. They also offer predictive information in addition to EuroSCORE, a widely used risk model after cardiac surgery. However, preoperatively measured troponin has provided no additional information to postoperative values. Whether these facts hold true also for the high-sensitivity fifth-generation troponin assay and the better calibrated risk model, EuroSCORE II, is unknown. We hypothesized that preoperative and/or postoperative high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) would increase the predictive value of EuroSCORE II.MethodsConsecutive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and other cardiac surgical patients were prospectively enrolled in a university hospital. Plasma samples and EuroSCORE II variables were collected. The primary and secondary end-points were 180-day mortality and any major adverse event within 30 days, and 961-day mortality. The data were analysed by Kaplan-Meier survival curves, regression analyses, receiver operator characteristic curves and decision curve analysis.ResultsMortality rates in 180 days were 3.5% (15/428) in CABG and 6.4% (14/220) in other cardiac surgical patients. Survival curves differed only in patients with not only high postoperative hs-TnT value (>500 ng/l), but also high preoperative hs-TnT value (>14 ng/l), compared with patients with both hs-TnT values low. Adding hs-TnT to EuroSCORE II improved the prediction of 180-day mortality in other cardiac surgical patients (maximum net benefit of 1.5%), but not in CABG patients. Regarding major adverse events, adding hs-TnT to EuroSCORE II improved the prediction in both CABG patients and other cardiac surgical patients (maximum net benefits of 3 and 7%).ConclusionsElevated postoperative hs-TnT was predictive of mortality only when combined with elevated preoperative hs-TnT. Hs-TnT measurements added information to the EuroSCORE II regarding major adverse events in all cardiac surgical patients and regarding 180-day mortality in non-CABG patients.

Project description:BackgroundRisk stratification of patients with prediabetes is an unmet clinical need. Here, we examine the utility of subclinical myocardial necrosis assessed by high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) in predicting health outcomes in stable subjects with prediabetes.Methodshs-cTnT was analyzed by a high-sensitivity assay (Roche 5th generation) in 2631 stable subjects with prediabetes (HbA1c 5.7-6.4% or fasting glucose 100-125 mg/dL without previous diagnosis of diabetes or glucose-lowering therapy) who underwent elective coronary angiography for cardiac evaluation, and followed for major adverse cardiac events (MACE; death, myocardial infarction, stroke) over 3 years and all-cause mortality over 5 years.ResultsIn our study cohort, hs-cTnT was highly prevalent with a median level of 13 ng/L (interquartile range 8.2-21.6 ng/L). Hs-cTnT was independently associated with incident MACE at 3 years (Q4 vs. Q1 adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 2.42 [95% CI 1.69-3.46], P < 0.001) and 5-year mortality (adjusted HR 3.8 [95% CI 2.55-5.67], P < 0.001). This association remained significant in all subsets after adjustment for traditional risk factors and multiple factors known to increase hs-cTnT levels. Moreover, hs-cTnT independently predicted event risk in primary prevention subjects (n = 557, HR 5.46 [95% CI 1.50-19.89), p < 0.01) for MACE; HR 9.53 [95% CI 2.08-43.73] for all-cause mortality) and secondary prevention subjects (n = 2074, HR 1.86 [95% CI 1.31-2.66], P < 0.001 for MACE; and 2.7 [95% CI 1.79-4.08), P < 0.001 for all-cause mortality).ConclusionsIn stable prediabetic subjects, the presence of subclinical myocardial necrosis as detected by hs-cTnT portends heightened long-term adverse cardiovascular event risk. Hs-cTnT levels may help to stratify risk and improve clinical decision making in patients with prediabetes. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00590200.

Project description:BackgroundAdverse cardiac events that follow cardiac surgery are an important source of perioperative morbidity and mortality for women. Troponin I provides a sensitive measure of cardiac injury, but the levels after cardiac surgery may vary between sexes. Our purpose in this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of troponin I levels for predicting cardiovascular complications in postmenopausal women undergoing cardiac surgery.MethodsThe cohort of this study were women enrolled in a previously reported clinical trial evaluating the neuroprotective potential of 17beta-estradiol in elderly women. In that study, 175 postmenopausal women not receiving estrogen replacement therapy and scheduled to undergo coronary artery bypass graft (with or without valve surgery) were prospectively randomized to receive 17beta-estradiol or placebo in a double-blind manner beginning the day before surgery and continuing for 5 days postoperatively. Serial 12-lead electrocardiograms were performed and serum troponin I concentrations were measured before surgery, after surgery on arrival in the intensive care unit, and for the first four postoperative days. The primary end-point of the present study was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as a Q-wave myocardial infarction, low cardiac output state or death within 30 days of surgery. The diagnosis of Q-wave myocardial infarction was made independently by two physicians blinded to treatment and patient outcomes with the final diagnosis requiring consensus. Low cardiac output state was defined as cardiac index <2.0 L x min(-1) x m(-2) for >8 h regardless of treatment.ResultsTroponin I levels on postoperative day 1 were predictive of MACE (area under the receiver operator curve = 0.862). A cutoff point for troponin I of >7.6 ng/mL (95% confidence interval, 6.4-10.8) provided the optimal sensitivity and specificity for identifying patients at risk for MACE. The negative predictive value of a troponin I level for identifying a patient with a composite cardiovascular outcome was high (96%) and the positive predictive value moderate (40%). Postoperative troponin I levels were not different between women receiving perioperative 17beta-estradiol treatment compared with placebo and the frequency of MACE was not influenced by 17beta-estradiol treatment.ConclusionsIn postmenopausal women, elevated troponin I levels on postoperative day 1 are predictive of MACE. Monitoring of perioperative troponin I levels might provide a means for stratifying patients at risk for adverse cardiovascular events.

Project description:AimsEvidence of the prognostic value of high-sensitivity troponin in patients with non-ischaemic heart failure (NIHF) is scarce. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) in NIHF patients.MethodsHs-cTnI was measured at baseline in 650 NIHF patients admitted to the Heart Failure Center. The prognostic value of hs-cTnI was assessed based on a well-established model (including age, sex, New York Heart Association class, left ventricular ejection fraction, haemoglobin, sodium, estimated glomerular filtration rate, diabetes mellitus, treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, treatment with β-blockers, and NT-proBNP).ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 1036 days, 163 patients died of various causes. In total, 46.92% of patients had high hs-cTnI (hs-cTnI >0.011 ng/ml). Over a 3-year follow-up, patients with high hs-cTnI (>0.011 ng/ml) had a 1.54 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.11-2.15] fold higher all-cause mortality risk than those without. Increasing concertation of hs-cTnI was also associated with a 23.0% (95% CI 13-33%, per log2 increase) increment risk of all-cause mortality. The inclusion of hs-cTnI significantly improved the risk prediction and stratification of all-cause mortality (integrated discrimination improvement 1.58%, 95% CI 0.38-2.79%, absolute net reclassification improvement 23.41% 95% CI 4.52-44.49%, additive net reclassification improvement 27.8%, 95% CI 9.29-46.3%) of the well-established model.ConclusionsHs-cTnI provides significant prognostic value and could further remarkably improve risk stratification and prediction capabilities in NIHF patients.

Project description:BackgroundIncreased postoperative cardiac troponin (cTn) independently predicts short-term mortality. Previous studies suggest that preoperative cTn also predicts major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality after noncardiac surgery. The value of preoperative and perioperative changes in cTn as a prognostic tool for adverse outcomes has been sparsely investigated.Methods and findingsA systematic review and meta-analysis of the prognostic value of cTns for adverse outcome was conducted. Adverse outcome was defined as short-term (in-hospital or <30 days) and long-term (>30 days) MACE and/or all-cause mortality, in adult patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. The study protocol (CRD42018094773) was registered with an international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO). Preoperative cTn was a predictor of short- (OR 4.3, 95% CI 2.9-6.5, p<0.001, adjusted OR 5.87, 95% CI 3.24-10.65, p<0.001) and long-term adverse outcome (OR 4.2, 95% CI 1.0-17.3, p = 0.05, adjusted HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.4-3.0, p<0.001). Perioperative change in cTn was a predictor of short-term adverse outcome (OR 10.1, 95% CI 3.2-32.3, p<0.001). It was not possible to conduct pooled analyses for adjusted estimates of perioperative change in cTn as predictor of short- (a single study identified) and long-term (no studies identified) adverse outcome. Further, it was not possible to conduct pooled analyses for unadjusted estimates of perioperative change in cTn as predictor of long-term adverse outcome, since only one study was identified. Bivariate analysis of sensitivities and specificities were performed, and overall prognostic performance was summarized using summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves. The pooled sensitivity and specificity for preoperative cTn and short-term adverse outcome was 0.43 and 0.86 respectively (area under the SROC curve of 0.68). There were insufficient studies to construct SROCs for perioperative changes in cTn and for long-term adverse outcome.ConclusionOur study indicates that although preoperative cTn and perioperative change in cTn might be valuable predictors of MACE and/or all-cause mortality in adult noncardiac surgical patients, its overall prognostic performance remains uncertain. Future large, representative, high-quality studies are needed to establish the potential role of cTns in perioperative cardiac risk stratification.

Project description:BACKGROUND:It is unclear if isolated postoperative cardiac-troponin elevation, often referred to as myocardial injury, represents a pathological event, as control studies in otherwise healthy adults are lacking. METHODS:In this single-centre prospective observational cohort study, serial high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hscTnT) plasma concentrations were obtained from young, healthy adults undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery at three time points: before operation, 2-6 h, and 18-30 h after surgery. End points were hscTnT increases after surgery: ?20% (exceeding analytical variability), ?50% (exceeding short-term biological variability), and ?85% (exceeding long-term biological variability). The secondary end point was myocardial injury, defined as new postoperative hscTnT elevation >99th % upper reference limit (URL) (women >10 ng litre-1; men >15 ng litre-1). RESULTS:Amongst the study population (n=95), no hscTnT increase ?20% was detected in 68 patients (73%). A hscTnT increase between 20% and 49% was observed in 17 patients (18%), 50-84% in seven patients (7%), and ?85% in three patients (3%). Twenty patients (21%) had an absolute ?hscTnT between 0 and 2 ng litre-1, 12 patients (13%) between 2 and 4 ng litre-1, three patients between 4 and 6 ng litre-1, and one patient (1%) between 6 and 8 ng litre-1. Myocardial injury (new hscTnT elevation >99th%) was diagnosed in one patient (1%). The median hscTnT concentrations did not increase after operation, and were 4 (3.9-5, inter-quartile range) ng litre-1 at baseline, 4 (3.9-5) ng litre-1 at 2-6 h after surgery, and 4 (3.9-5) ng litre-1 on postoperative day 1. CONCLUSIONS:One in four young adult patients without known cardiovascular disease developed a postoperative hscTnT increase, but without exceeding the 99th% URL and without evidence of myocardial ischaemia. These results may have important ramifications for the concept of postoperative myocardial injury, as they suggest that, in some patients, postoperative cardiac-troponin increases may be the result of a normal physiological process in the surgical setting.

Project description:Object: Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have an increased incidence of cardiac events and short-term unfavorable neurological outcomes during the acute phase of bleeding. We studied whether troponin I elevation after ictus can predict future major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and long-term neurological outcomes after 2 years. Methods: Consecutive aSAH patients within 3 days of bleeding were eligible for review from a prospective observational cohort (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04785976). Potential predictors of future MACEs and unfavorable long-term neurological outcomes were calculated by Cox and logistic regression analyses. Additional Kaplan-Meier curves were performed. Results: A total of 213 patients were enrolled with an average follow-up duration of 34.3 months. Individuals were divided into two groups: elevated cTnI group and unelevated cTnI group. By the last available follow-up, 20 patients had died, with an overall all-cause mortality rate of 9.4% and an annual all-cause mortality rate of 3.8%. Patients with elevated cTnI had a significantly higher risk of future MACEs (10.6 vs. 2.1%, p = 0.024, and 95% CI: 1.256-23.875) and unfavorable neurological outcomes at discharge, 3-month, 1-, 2-years, and last follow-up (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, p = 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively). In the Cox analysis for future MACE, elevated cTnI was the only independent predictor (HR = 5.980; 95% CI: 1.428-25.407, and p = 0.014). In the multivariable logistic analysis for unfavorable neurological outcomes, peak cTnI was significant (OR = 2.951; 95% CI: 1.376-6.323; p = 0.005). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the elevated cTnI was correlated with future MACE (log-rank test, p = 0.007) and subsequent death (log-rank test, p = 0.004). Conclusion: cTnI elevation after aSAH could predict future MACEs and unfavorable neurological outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundThe identification of high-risk heart failure (HF) patients makes it possible to intensify their treatment. Our aim was to determine the prognostic value of a newly developed, high-sensitivity troponin I assay (Atellica®, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics) for patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; LVEF < 40%) and HF with mid-range EF (HFmrEF) (LVEF 40%-49%).Methods and resultsA total of 520 patients with HFrEF and HFmrEF were enrolled in this study. Two-year all-cause mortality, heart transplantation, and/or left ventricular assist device implantation were defined as the primary endpoints (EP). A logistic regression analysis was used for the identification of predictors and development of multivariable models. The EP occurred in 14% of the patients, and these patients had higher NT-proBNP (1,950 vs. 518 ng/l; p < 0.001) and hs-cTnI (34 vs. 17 ng/l, p < 0.001) levels. C-statistics demonstrated that the optimal cut-off value for the hs-cTnI level was 17 ng/l (AUC 0.658, p < 0.001). Described by the AUC, the discriminatory power of the multivariable model (NYHA > II, NT-proBNP, hs-cTnI and urea) was 0.823 (p < 0.001). Including heart failure hospitalization as the component of the combined secondary endpoint leads to a diminished predictive power of increased hs-cTnI.Conclusionhs-cTnI levels ≥ 17 ng/l represent an independent increased risk of an adverse prognosis for patients with HFrEF and HFmrEF. Determining a patient's hs-cTnI level adds prognostic value to NT-proBNP and clinical parameters.
