- Abstract
Importance: The 2018 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) cholesterol management guidelines identified 2 distinct groups of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) prompting different treatment recommendations., Objective: To investigate whether the addition of high-sensitivity troponin (hsTn) testing to guideline-derived ASCVD risk can improve risk classification and downstream treatment recommendations., Design, Setting, and Participants: A prospective cohort biomarker substudy was performed that included 8635 patients enrolled in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Prior Heart Attack Using Ticagrelor Compared to Placebo on a Background of Aspirin-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 54 (PEGASUS-TIMI 54) trial. Patients were assigned to risk groups of either very high-risk ASCVD or lower-risk ASCVD based on their cardiovascular history and comorbidities, in line with the 2018 AHA/ACC cholesterol management guidelines criteria. Patients were also classified on the basis of hsTnI level (ARCHITECT assay; Abbott) using cut points of 2 ng/L (limit of detection) and 6 ng/L (risk threshold), followed by joint classification on the basis of clinical features and hsTnI level. The setting was a nested prospective cohort study in a completed multinational trial. Participants were all patients who had a myocardial infarction 1 to 3 years before enrollment, were at least 50 years of age, and had at least 1 high-risk feature. The study dates were October 2010 to December 2014. The dates of analysis were June 2019 to January 2020., Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary end point was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke., Results: Among 8635 patients enrolled in the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial, the median age was 65 years (interquartile range, 58-71 years), and 6614 (76.6%) were men; 8340 (96.6%) were White individuals and 176 (2.0%) were Black individuals. Patients meeting clinical criteria for the very high-risk ASCVD group had a primary end point 3-year event rate of 8.8% compared with 5.0% in the lower-risk ASCVD group (hazard ratio, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.58-2.57; P < .001). When patients in the very high-risk ASCVD group were further risk stratified by hsTnI level, 614 of 6789 patients (9.0%) with an undetectable hsTnI level had a 3-year event rate of 2.7% (<1% per year), which was less than the overall rate in the lower-risk ASCVD group. Analogously, in the lower-risk ASCVD group, 417 of 1846 patients (22.6%) with an hsTnI level exceeding 6 ng/L had an event rate of 9.1%, comparable to the overall rate in the very high-risk ASCVD group. The addition of hsTnI to guideline-derived ASCVD risk led to a net reclassification index at event rate of 0.15 (95% CI, 0.10-0.21). Overall, use of hsTnI reclassified 1031 of 8635 patients (11.9%) (1 in 11 with very high-risk ASCVD and 1 in 4 with lower-risk ASCVD)., Conclusions and Relevance: The findings of this cohort substudy suggest that a strategy incorporating hsTn into a guideline-derived ASCVD risk algorithm provides enhanced risk stratification and reclassifies 11.9% of patients into a more appropriate risk group. This application of hsTn testing might be used to optimize the care of patients with ASCVD.

- Abstract
Background: While increased serum troponin levels are often due to myocardial infarction, increased levels may also be found in a variety of other clinical scenarios. Although these causes of troponin elevation have been characterized in several studies in older adults, they have not been well characterized in younger individuals., Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients 50 years of age or younger who presented with elevated serum troponin levels to 2 large tertiary care centers between January 2000 and April 2016. Patients with prior known coronary artery disease were excluded. The cause of troponin elevation was adjudicated via review of electronic medical records. All-cause death was determined using the Social Security Administration's death master file., Results: Of the 6081 cases meeting inclusion criteria, 3574 (58.8%) patients had a myocardial infarction, while 2507 (41.2%) had another cause of troponin elevation. Over a median follow-up of 8.7 years, all-cause mortality was higher in patients with nonmyocardial infarction causes of troponin elevation compared with those with myocardial infarction (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15-1.46; P < .001). Specifically, mortality was higher in those with central nervous system pathologies (adjusted HR 2.21; 95% CI, 1.85-2.63; P < .001), nonischemic cardiomyopathies (adjusted HR 1.66; 95% CI, 1.37-2.02; P < .001), and end-stage renal disease (adjusted HR 1.36; 95% CI, 1.07-1.73; P = .013). However, mortality was lower in patients with myocarditis compared with those with an acute myocardial infarction (adjusted HR 0.43; 95% CI:, 0.31-0.59; P < .001)., Conclusion: There is a broad differential for troponin elevation in young patients, which differs based on demographic features. Most nonmyocardial infarction causes of troponin elevation are associated with higher all-cause mortality compared with acute myocardial infarction., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Immunoassays measuring cardiac troponins I or T have become firmly established as critical tools for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. While most contemporary assays provide adequate diagnostic performance, the increased sensitivity and precision of the new, high sensitivity assays that have already been introduced into clinical practice, provide the potential to further shorten intervals between blood draws or the time needed to detect the first significant troponin elevation. In addition to the relatively modest benefits at the diagnostic end, the high sensitivity assays and the investigational ultrasensitive cardiac troponin assays offer improvements for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events, development of heart failure or transition to end-stage kidney disease. These novel high sensitivity assays can measure troponin concentrations in 50%-100% of healthy individuals and therefore allow for the distribution of troponin values within a healthy cohort to be measured, patient's baseline troponin levels to be monitored, and clinicians to be alerted of deteriorating cardiorenal conditions. We envisage that the high sensitivity assays will become important tools for predicting each patient's risk of future adverse events and for guiding and monitoring corresponding adjustments of preventative therapeutic interventions.

- Abstract
Measurement of circulating cardiac troponins I and T has become integral to the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. This article discusses the structure and function of the troponin complex and the release of cardiac troponin molecules from the injured cardiomyocyte into the circulation. An overview of current cardiac troponin assays and their classification according to sensitivity is presented. The diagnostic criteria, role, and usefulness of cardiac troponin for myocardial infarction are discussed. In addition, several examples are given of the usefulness of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays for short-term and long-term prediction of adverse events., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Objective. To determine the proportion of initial troponin (cTn) elevations associated with Type I MI versus other cardiovascular and noncardiovascular diagnoses in an emergency department (ED) and whether or not a relationship exists between the cTn level and the likelihood of Type I MI. Background. In the ED, cTn is used as a screening test for myocardial injury. However, the differential diagnosis for an initial positive cTn result is not clear. Methods. Hospital medical records were retrospectively reviewed for visits associated with an initial positive troponin I-ultra (cTnI), ≥0.05 μg/L. Elevated cTnI levels were stratified into low (0.05–0.09), medium (0.1–0.99), or high (≥1.0). Discharge diagnoses were classified into 3 diagnostic groups (Type I MI, other cardiovascular, or noncardiovascular). Results. Of 23,731 ED visits, 4,928 (21%) had cTnI testing. Of those tested, 16.3% had initial cTnI ≥0.05. Among those with elevated cTn, 11% were classified as Type I MI, 34% had other cardiovascular diagnoses, and 55% had a noncardiovascular diagnosis. Type I MI was more common with high cTnI levels (41% incidence) than among subjects with medium (9%) or low (6%). Conclusion. A positive cTn is most likely a noncardiovascular diagnosis, but Type I MI is far more common with cTnI levels ≥1.0. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cardiac troponins I and T are established biomarkers of cardiac injury. Testing for either of these two cardiac troponins has long been an essential component of the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. In addition, cardiac troponin concentrations after acute myocardial infarction predict future adverse events including development of ischemic heart failure and chronic elevations of cardiac troponin correlate with heart failure severity. These predictions and correlations are particularly obvious when cardiac troponin concentrations are measured using the new high sensitivity cardiac troponin assays. Thus, a growing body of literature suggests that cardiac troponin testing may have important clinical implications for heart failure patients with reduced or preserved ejection fraction. In this review, we explore the prognostic utility of measuring cardiac troponin concentrations in patients with acute or chronic heart failure and in populations at risk of developing heart failure and the relationship between cardiac troponin levels and disease severity. We also summarize the ongoing debates and research on whether serial monitoring of cardiac troponin levels may become a useful tool for guiding therapeutic interventions in patients with heart failure.

- Abstract
Aims The aim of this study is to simultaneously evaluate the incremental prognostic value of multiple cardiac biomarkers reflecting different underlying pathophysiological processes in a well-characterized population of patients with non-ST-segment acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Methods and results We measured cardiac troponin I (cTnI), N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), C-reactive protein, and myeloperodixase (MPO) among 4352 patients with NSTE-ACS in the MERLIN-TIMI 36 (Metabolic Efficiency With Ranolazine for Less Ischaemia in Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary-Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 36) trial and followed them for a mean of 343 days. When added individually to a multivariable model adjusted for clinical characteristics, the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death rose in a stepwise fashion with increasing quartiles of each biomarker, and when using their pre-defined cut-points [HRadj 2.71 (P < 0.001) for cTnI ≥0.03 ng/mL; HRadj 3.01 (P < 0.001) for NT-proBNP ≥400 pg/mL; HRadj 1.45 (P = 0.019) for high-sensitivity (hs) C-reactive protein ≥15 mg/L; and HRadj 1.49 (P = 0.006) for MPO ≥670 pmol/L]. After including all biomarkers, only NT-proBNP and cTnI were independently associated with CV death, and only cTnI with myocardial infarction (MI). The addition of NT-proBNP to a model adjusted for TIMI risk score incorporating cTnI significantly improved both the discrimination and re-classification of the model for CV death and heart failure (HF) while there was no such improvement after the addition of either MPO or hs-C-reactive protein. Conclusion In this study of over 4300 patients presenting with NSTEACS, we found that both cTnI and NT-proBNP offer prognostic information beyond that achieved with clinical risk variables for CV death, MI, and HF. Myeloperoxidase and hs-C-reactive protein, while independently associated with some adverse CV outcomes, did not provide substantial incremental prognostic information when evaluated together with cTnI and NT-proBNP.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to describe the relationship between changes in highsensitivity cardiac troponin I (hsTnI) and cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS: The EXAMINE trial (Examination of Cardiovascular Outcomes With Alogliptin Versus Standard of Care) was a phase IIIb clinical outcomes trial designed to evaluate the cardiovascular safety of alogliptin, a nonselective dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, glycohemoglobin between 6.5% and 11% (or between 7% and 11% if they were on insulin), and a recent acute coronary syndrome (between 15 and 90 days before randomization) were eligible for the trial. hsTnI was measured using the Abbott ARCHITECT assay at baseline and 6 months in patients randomized in the EXAMINE trial. This analysis was restricted to patients randomized ≥30 days after qualifying acute coronary syndrome to mitigate the potential for persistent hsTnI elevation after acute coronary syndrome (n=3808). The primary end point of the trial was cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Cardiovascular death or heart failure was a prespecified, adjudicated secondary end point. RESULTS: At baseline, hsTnI was detectable (≥1.9 ng/L) in 93% of patients and ˃99th percentile upper reference limit in 16%. There was a strong relationship between increasing hsTnI, both at baseline and 6 months, and the incidence of cardiovascular events through 24 months (P<0.001 for each). Patients with undetectable hsTnI at baseline and 6 months were at the lowest risk of future cardiovascular events. Stable patients with hsTnI ≥99th percentile upper reference limit at 6 months were at increased risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke compared with patients with hsTnI <99 percentile upper reference limit irrespective of whether hsTnI was newly elevated (28.1% versus 8.8%; adjusted hazard ratio, 2.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.64–4.28; P<0.001) or persistently so (22.5% versus 8.8%; adjusted hazard ratio, 1.90; 95% confidence interval, 1.33–2.70; P<0.001). Alogliptin neither increased nor decreased the risk of cardiovascular events compared with placebo in patients with high baseline hsTnI (22.3% versus 23.0%; hazard ratio, 0.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.60–1.25; P=0.44). CONCLUSIONS: Serial assessment of hsTnI revealed a substantial proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without clinically recognized events had dynamic or persistently elevated values and were at high risk of recurrent events. hsTnI may have a role in personalizing preventive strategies in patients with diabetes mellitus based on risk.

Background: Circulating high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hsTnT) predominantly reflects myocardial injury, and higher levels are associated with a higher risk of worsening heart failure and death in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Less is known about the prognostic significance of changes in hsTnT over time, the effects of dapagliflozin on clinical outcomes in relation to baseline hsTnT levels, and the effect of dapagliflozin on hsTnT levels.Methods: DAPA-HF (Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Heart Failure) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of dapagliflozin (10 mg daily) in patients with New York Heart Association class II to IV symptoms and left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40% (median follow-up, 18.2 months). hsTnT (Roche Diagnostics) was measured at baseline in 3112 patients and at 1 year in 2506 patients. The primary end point was adjudicated worsening heart failure or cardiovascular death. Clinical end points were analyzed according to baseline hsTnT and change in hsTnT from baseline to 1 year. Comparative treatment effects on clinical end points with dapagliflozin versus placebo were assessed by baseline hsTnT. The effect of dapagliflozin on hsTnT was explored.Results: Median baseline hsTnT concentration was 20.0 (25th-75th percentile, 13.7-30.2) ng/L. Over 1 year, 67.9% of patients had a ≥10% relative increase or decrease in hsTnT concentrations, and 43.5% had a ≥20% relative change. A stepwise gradient of higher risk for the primary end point was observed across increasing quartiles of baseline hsTnT concentration (adjusted hazard ratio Q4 versus Q1, 3.44 [95% CI, 2.46-4.82]). Relative and absolute increases in hsTnT over 1 year were associated with higher subsequent risk of the primary end point. The relative reduction in the primary end point with dapagliflozin was consistent across quartiles of baseline hsTnT (P-interaction=0.55), but patients in the top quartile tended to have the greatest absolute risk reduction (absolute risk difference, 7.5% [95% CI, 1.0%-14.0%]). Dapagliflozin tended to attenuate the increase in hsTnT over time compared with placebo (relative least squares mean reduction, -3% [-6% to 0%]; P=0.076).Conclusions: Higher baseline hsTnT and greater increase in hsTnT over 1 year are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Dapagliflozin consistently reduced the risk of the primary end point, irrespective of baseline hsTnT levels. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03036124.

Background: Type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) and myocardial injury are associated with increased short-term mortality. However, data regarding long-term mortality are lacking.Objectives: This study compared long-term mortality among young adults with type 1 MI, type 2 MI, or myocardial injury.Methods: Adults age 50 years or younger who presented with troponin >99th percentile or the International Classification of Diseases code for MI over a 17-year period were identified. All cases were adjudicated as type 1 MI, type 2 MI, or myocardial injury based on the Fourth Universal Definition of MI. Cox proportional hazards models were constructed for survival free from all-cause and cardiovascular death.Results: The cohort consisted of 3,829 patients (median age 44 years; 30% women); 55% had type 1 MI, 32% had type 2 MI, and 13% had myocardial injury. Over a median follow-up of 10.2 years, mortality was highest for myocardial injury (45.6%), followed by type 2 MI (34.2%) and type 1 MI (12%) (p < 0.001). In an adjusted model, type 2 MI was associated with higher all-cause (hazard ratio: 1.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.2 to 2.7; p = 0.004) and cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio: 2.7; 95% confidence interval: 1.4 to 5.1; p = 0.003) compared with type 1 MI. Those with type 2 MI or myocardial injury were younger and had fewer cardiovascular risk factors but had more noncardiovascular comorbidities. They were significantly less likely to be prescribed cardiovascular medications at discharge.Conclusions: Young patients who experience a type 2 MI have higher long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than those who experience type 1 MI, with nearly one-half of patients with myocardial injury and more than one-third of patients with type 2 MI dying within 10 years. These findings emphasize the need to provide more aggressive secondary prevention for patients who experience type 2 MI and myocardial injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Introduction: Use of high-sensitivity troponin (hsTn) in stable patients (pts) with established ischemic heart disease (SIHD) is an emerging application to identify heightened risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events. However, appropriate decision-limits are not yet defined. Methods: We measured serum hsTnI (Abbott ARCHITECT, limit-of-detection 2 ng/L, MI cut-point 26 ng/L) in a prospective nested cohort of 8,635 pts enrolled in the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial. All patients had SIHD with a myocardial infarction (MI) 1-3 years prior to enrollment. Previous studies have proposed 6 ng/L as a decision-limit for risk stratification. Pts were categorized based on baseline hsTnI: undetectable (<2), low (2-6), and high (>6 ng/L). The primary endpoint (PEP) was a composite of CV death, MI, or stroke. Pts were followed for a median of 33 months. Results: The median value of hsTnI was 4.2 ng/L (25th, 75th: 2.7, 7.2 ng/L) and 89.3% of pts had detectable hsTnI (≥2 ng/L) with 31.1% >6 ng/L. The 3y PEP rates for the undetectable, low, and high hsTnI groups were 2.8, 6.0, and 13.5%, respectively (Fig). Adjusting for age, diabetes, smoking, hypertension, stroke, CABG, peripheral artery disease, history of heart failure and chronic kidney disease, there remained a 2 and 4-fold higher risk for the PEP in the low and high hsTnI groups(Fig). Rates of MI in the undetectable, low, and high groups were 2.5, 4.3, and 8.7%, respectively, with adjusted HRs of 1.9 (95% CI 1.2-3.2, p=0.009) in the low and 3.6 (95% CI 2.2-6.0, p<0.0001) in the high group. No CV deaths occurred in pts with undetectable troponin. There was no significant interaction with efficacy of ticagrelor. Conclusion: hsTn demonstrates a strong independent graded association with recurrent major cardiovascular events in pts with SIHD. The increased risk is present in the low detectable range and progresses with higher levels. A single hsTnI >6 ng/L was present in nearly 1/3 of patients, identifying a 4-fold higher risk of recurrent cardiac event. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Cardiac reserve is depressed in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The mechanisms causing this are poorly understood.Objectives: The authors hypothesized that myocardial injury might contribute to the hemodynamic derangements and cardiac reserve limitations that are present in HFpEF. Markers of cardiomyocyte injury, central hemodynamics, ventricular function, and determinants of cardiac oxygen supply-demand balance were measured.Methods: Subjects with HFpEF (n = 38) and control subjects without heart failure (n = 20) underwent cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, and expired gas analysis at rest and during exercise. Central venous blood was sampled to measure plasma high-sensitivity troponin T levels as an index of cardiomyocyte injury.Results: Compared with control subjects, troponins were more than 2-fold higher in subjects with HFpEF at rest and during exercise (p < 0.0001). Troponin levels were directly correlated with left ventricular (LV) filling pressures (r = 0.52; p < 0.0001) and diastolic dysfunction (r = -0.43; p = 0.002). Although myocardial oxygen demand was similar, myocardial oxygen supply was depressed in HFpEF, particularly during exercise (coronary perfusion pressure-time integral; 44 ± 9 mm Hg × s × min-1 × l × dl-1 vs. 30 ± 9 mm Hg × s × min-1 × l × dl-1; p < 0.0001), and reduced indices of supply were correlated with greater myocyte injury during exercise (r = -0.44; p = 0.0008). Elevation in troponin with exercise was directly correlated with an inability to augment LV diastolic (r = -0.40; p = 0.02) and systolic reserve (r = -0.57; p = 0.0003), greater increases in LV filling pressures (r = 0.55; p < 0.0001), blunted cardiac output response (r = -0.44; p = 0.002), and more severely depressed aerobic capacity in HFpEF.Conclusions: Limitations in LV functional reserve and the hemodynamic derangements that develop secondary to these limitations during exercise in HFpEF are correlated with the severity of cardiac injury, assessed by plasma levels of troponin T. Further study is warranted to determine the mechanisms causing myocyte injury in HFpEF and the potential role of ischemia, and to identify and test novel interventions targeted to these mechanisms.
