Recent 2015 ESC recommendations for the management of patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI) support that a single value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (HS-cTn) measured at presentation could rule out AMI if below the limit of blank (LoB) or detection (LoD).
We aimed to evaluate whether an undetectable HS-cTnT at presentation safely rules out NSTEMI in unselected patients with chest pain.
This is a post hoc analysis of two prospective cohorts with similar design that included patients suspected of AMI at three French university hospitals. Patients were followed-up during one month, before the adjudication of a final diagnosis.
413 patients (mean age 58±17years) were analyzed; 45 (11%) had a final diagnosis of NSTEMI, and 26 (6%) had STEMI. The sensitivity of HS-cTnT value at 3ng/L (LoB) for NSTEMI was 97.8% [95% CI: 86.8-99.9], yielding a negative predictive value (NPV) of 99.3% [95% CI: 95.4-100.0]. Proportion of patients ruled out for NSTEMI was 32% when applying the LoB. The sensitivity of HS-cTnT value at 5ng/L (LoD) was 97.8% [95% CI: 86.8-99.9] yielding a NPV of 99.5% [95% CI: 96.5-100.0]. Proportion of patients ruled out for NSTEMI was 43% when applying the LoD. One patient (delay between onset of chest pain and presentation <3h) had NSTEMI and HS-cTnT <LoB at presentation.
The NPV of a single measurement of HS-cTnT below the LoD is high in unselected patients, but not enough to rule out safely NSTEMI for very early presenters.
2015年欧洲心脏病学会(ESC)近期发布的疑似急性心肌梗死(AMI)患者管理指南支持,就诊时单次检测的高敏心肌肌钙蛋白(HS-cTn)值若低于检测下限(LoB)或检测限(LoD),则可排除AMI。
我们旨在评估就诊时无法检测到HS-cTnT是否能安全排除未选择的胸痛患者中的非ST段抬高型心肌梗死(NSTEMI)。
这是对两个设计相似的前瞻性队列进行的事后分析,队列纳入了法国三家大学医院疑似AMI的患者。在最终诊断判定前,对患者进行了为期1个月的随访。
分析了413例患者(平均年龄58±17岁);45例(11%)最终诊断为NSTEMI,26例(6%)为ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)。HS-cTnT值在3ng/L(LoB)时对NSTEMI的敏感性为97.8% [95%可信区间(CI):86.8 - 99.9],阴性预测值(NPV)为99.3% [95% CI:95.4 - 100.0]。应用LoB时,被排除NSTEMI的患者比例为32%。HS-cTnT值在5ng/L(LoD)时的敏感性为97.8% [95% CI:86.8 - 99.9],NPV为99.5% [95% CI:96.5 - 100.0]。应用LoD时,被排除NSTEMI的患者比例为43%。1例患者(胸痛发作与就诊之间的延迟<3小时)患有NSTEMI,就诊时HS-cTnT<LoB。
在未选择的患者中,单次测量HS-cTnT低于LoD的NPV较高,但对于就诊非常早的患者,不足以安全排除NSTEMI。
