It is unknown, whether cardiac troponin (cTn) I or cTnT is the preferred biomarker in the detection of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia.
We investigated patients with suspected myocardial ischemia referred for exercise or pharmacological rest/stress myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to directly compare the diagnostic accuracy of high-sensitivity cTnI (hs-cTnI) and hs-cTnT. Diagnostic performance was analyzed separately according to stress modality. Hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT were measured before, immediately after, as well as 2h and 4h after maximal exercise in a blinded fashion. Further, all clinical information available to the treating cardiologist was used to quantify the clinical judgment regarding the presence of myocardial ischemia using a visual analog scale twice: once prior and once after stress-testing. The presence of stress-induced myocardial ischemia was adjudicated using SPECT combined with coronary angiography findings.
A total of 403 consecutive patients were enrolled in our study, of which 229 underwent exercise stress and 174 patients pharmacological stress. Exercise-stress-induced myocardial ischemia was detected in 90 patients (39.3% of 229). Levels of hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT were both significantly higher at all time-points examined in patients with exercise-induced myocardial ischemia as compared to patients without myocardial ischemia (all p<0.001). Correlation of hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT was high in direct comparison of time-points (Spearman's rho all ≥0.7). The AUCs for baseline/peak/2h/4h for hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT were 0.71/0.71/0.72/0.69 vs. 0.74/0.73/0.71/0.72, respectively (all p=ns for hs-cTnI versus hs-cTnT). In patients undergoing pharmacological stress, the AUCs for baseline/peak/2h/4h for hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT were 0.66/0.66/0.68/0.67 and 0.61/0.62/0.64/0.59, respectively (all p=ns for hs-cTnI versus hs-cTnT). Also the combinations including clinical judgment or changes during serial sampling were similar for hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT (all p=ns).
Hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT provide comparable diagnostic information regarding exercise-induced myocardial ischemia. Overall, their diagnostic accuracy seems moderate.

尚不清楚心肌肌钙蛋白(cTn)I 还是 cTnT 是检测运动诱发心肌缺血的首选生物标志物。
我们对疑似心肌缺血并接受运动或药物负荷/静息心肌灌注单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)的患者进行了研究,以直接比较高敏 cTnI(hs-cTnI)和 hs-cTnT 的诊断准确性。根据负荷方式分别分析诊断性能。以盲法在最大运动前、运动后即刻、运动后 2 小时和 4 小时测量 hs-cTnI 和 hs-cTnT。此外,利用治疗心脏病专家可获得的所有临床信息,使用视觉模拟量表两次量化关于心肌缺血存在的临床判断:一次在负荷试验前,一次在负荷试验后。通过 SPECT 结合冠状动脉造影结果判定负荷诱发的心肌缺血的存在。
我们的研究共纳入 403 例连续患者,其中 229 例接受运动负荷,174 例接受药物负荷。在 90 例患者(229 例中的 39.3%)中检测到运动负荷诱发的心肌缺血。与无心肌缺血的患者相比,运动诱发心肌缺血的患者在所有检测时间点的 hs-cTnI 和 hs-cTnT 水平均显著更高(所有 p<0.001)。在时间点的直接比较中,hs-cTnI 和 hs-cTnT 的相关性很高(Spearman 相关系数均≥0.7)。hs-cTnI 和 hs-cTnT 的基线/峰值/2 小时/4 小时的曲线下面积(AUC)分别为 0.71/0.71/0.72/0.69 和 0.
